I just got one today from this so-called "member". Here is the contents:

Hi,I'm new here, how's it going?"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein---Jameshttp://james420.zip.io

Jim or Richard............ here is the guys user-id http://clubsearay.com/forum/member.php?u=3635
 
I just deleted that user. Its pretty tough to stay on top of everything, thanks for notifying me.
 
Jim, I suspect it will happen again. If these "bot programs" (not sure if that's the correct term) now zero in on private messages as a way of getting their Spam out, you may have to look at some different security measures. One way may be not to allow personal messages until you have 10 or more posts. Just a thought.

I get several PM's a month from people that don't know how to make their first post. So they would complain if I instituted a policy like that. Something to consider though. There is no way to even remotely suit the board to everybody.

How would they complain? : )
 
If you are concerned about making CSR users unhappy, I guess we could vote on it........

Everyone who wants to continue to see cell phone threads, porn site registrations and invitations to enjoy Hot Japanese Lesbian Sex Shows and PM's and emails notifications about Buddhism send Jim a PM so he can determine how many of us are here for those reasons instead of boating.
