If anyone Spams you with adverts via PM, or just sends adverts to you via PM however many times. Forward them to me.

Is this a recent problem?

Yes, further explain please.

As far as I know, it's not that big of a problem. I mean sure I was given a couple of PMs of 'look at this thread' by two different members. (Names won't be mentioned, and it was a long time ago.)

So, what's with the rule change? Not that I'm protesting. Just curious.

Its fine to say look at this thread, inside this forum. But there is a lot of Spamadvertising going on around the Invisionfree community. People registering, Spam Advertising, then leaving.

Advertising in general, shouldn't be sent by PM unless say the Member has requested the URL to a site perhaps.

Oh. You worried me for a second there. I thought you started this thread because it was a real problem here.

All you need to do is forward it to me/Sentynel, if it occurs.

It ain't gonna happen anytime soon... heellllo? Bartiforums here? Spamverts happen in the big sites.

Spambots register on as many forums as they can find. Doesn't cost their operators any more than targetting just the big ones.

Not only that, Bartiforums is actually advertised in alot of the directories, one guy who was reported by loads of members in IF manually sent out loads of PMs on any board he could find.
