Hey,
I'm new here, how's it going?

Same spam here too, but by a different author. No posts on record. In case it matters, ther persons ID was "Eternity" in my spam. It's interesting the time lag between the spam you guys are talking about and the one I got today. But other than the different user name, it is identical.

Thanks for the reports. Over the last month or so we've had a couple of users spam private messages to everyone like this - the messages don't really say anything, but I assume they're trying to get you to visit their web site.

If you receive a suspicious message like this, the best thing to do is simply hit the "Report Private Message" button - it's a little red triangle at the top-right of the message. That way Rob and I immediately get an email about it, and we can ban the spammer and purge the messages they sent as soon as possible.

Thanks!
