    Spammer PM'ed me

    A spammer with the nick "jakata" just PM'ed me. Screen of the PM is here.

    Notice the deceptive URL in the message which actually points to another domain, his lack of posts, recent join date, etc.

    BANNINATE!

    Can you forward the PM to a mod or admin (and a link to user profile)

    Gah, I already deleted the PM, but I sent a message to mattisking about it a few minutes ago.

    Ok. I guess he'll deal with it when he gets it.

    There have been others. This is a recent tactic. I just banned another PM spammer.

    Please tell us if you (or anyone else reading this) receive others.
