Spam through PM

I'm guessing this was some spam attempt, because someone sent me a PM just stating:

"Hey,What's up?---Jessiehttp://jessie.rack111.com"

It was sent from a user named Jessie, and the PM title was "Re: God of Twilight"
I've never sent him a PM

Re: Spam through PM

OK - I'll look into this and see what is happening.

Thank you for letting me know.

Re: Spam through PM

Haven't you banned this user yet? I've also got a PM from Jessie -
"Hi,I'm new here, how's it going?"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage" - Lao Tzu---Jessiehttp://wisdom42.t35.com"
It's a very unpleasant thing to get such PMs, as I also receive e-mail alerts.

I did a temporary ban initially but have changed it now to a permanent ban. I'm really sorry for all of the inconvenience. This site was being overrun by spammers. I've changed settings and hopefully we can all get back to reading about technology.
