I didn't get one :(
My inbox is purposely full, so I cannot receive any.
Was he pestering members?
he sent 4147 pms in one day!!!
I think i should have a look in the VB admin options to limit the max number of pms aloud in one day.
That's a hell lot of private messages
Wow, that spammer surely must have been a big bad bot to crank out over 4,000 pms on just one day.
Lol yeah would be a good idea.
Best way of doing it :
1) Put users with less than 5 posts in a new user group.
(make it the default group for new members)
2) Set users in that group to not be allowed to send pm's.
3) After 5 posts they get moved to a member user group and they can send a set number (site default.. say 5) pm's a day.
This stops people/bots from just signing up to pm advertise there sites.
Problem solved :)
I have it set up like that on my site.
one click of the new mod i installed sorted him ;)
when the hell i was XD lol
