Hi All,

As many of you may have noticed, we are targeted by spammers again. This time they send junks through private message section.

Please don't click on any link in the private message(s) you receive. Just report here when sent the message and the message text, so I can remove those user accounts.

My sincere appologies to user "The Raddish". I removed your account by mistake, though you are the one who is senting the spams, and then find out you were just trying to warn me. Please recreate your account and post back here, I will relink your photos to the new account if you have any.

Ken

User "RooTModeratorx" is known of sending spams on this site, so the account is deleted.

BTW, "Airport-Data" is the only account I am using and will ever use. So anyone with "admin" or "administrator" or "forum" etc in their account name is suspicious.

I received one from "info@airport-data.com" indicating I had a new private msg.

Im actually glad I got it as my computer was fried and I had to get a new one - so all my bookmarks were gone and for the life of me I couldnt recall the name of this site since I hadnt been to it for a while.

Perhaps it is possible to block PM rights until a user has posted say 5 photos that have been approved by the moderators.

If the spammers go to all the trouble of posting photos then it should provide the IP address of the uploader rather than just a disposable email address that they probably used to register with.

Wish the idiots out there would get a life instead of sitting around thinking of ways to rip people off or infest them with viruses.
