So, i guess it's time for me to start using this site. I took a look at your page and well, I liked what I saw.. ;p
So.. ya :) my name is Mckenna Carter. I think me and you should be friends, because you seem pretty cool, and maybe even cute! (it's so hard to tell in this digital world :)
anyway, i'd go on all day, but I want to get a response from you.. You should check out my other page on this other site, I'm always on over there: Admin edit: (Link removed) Then maybe we could chat sometime!
talk to you soon
anyways, after posting I see a report spam/abuse so I guess I will do that.

Yes, those our the reoccuring PM spammers. They can't make new accounts effectivly anymore, but they still have some older ones that we keep running across. Basically they have a script that uses a pool of hundreds of IP addresses and Thousands upon thousands of Yahoo e-mail addresses to spam create accounts here in batches of 200. They then log in and spam from 4 or 5 of those accounts every few days, then switch to new ones once we ban the old ones.
They were sneaky and started creating the account batches well before they started spamming us, so we keep finding and killing older pockets.
The PM spam only affects a few people though, due to measures we have in place.
