          @satafterh:
          could you please remove the image from the post. Most of us already received that spam.

          thank you.

              We all received the same PM. It is disturbing. I just hope that a moderator does come online soon.

                  yeah I just got this.
                  Big deal a picture of a bloke in the nude.
                  Im on windows at the moment.I checked my opera cache and deleted the pic from there too.
                  This would have been a bit nasty a few years ag when my kids were small as they used to search for pics on the pc to modify in the art program.Best check out your computer incase it's saved a copy anywhere.

                    Re: Reporting Abuse

                    Used to get these sort of spammers on a forum I admin, my solution was to change forum code so that you couldn;t send PM's until you'd had 5 posts. Solved the problem instantly.

                      Re: Reporting Abuse

                      I got the same thing. I wasn't even aware that one can send/receive e-mails through _any_ forum. Where do I change that setting?

                        Click the profile button at the top (between search and calendar).
                        Go to Personal Message Options and set the options to your liking.

                        You actually do not receive the PM as an e-mail. You just receive a notification that you have received a PM in the forum, just like you receive a notification through e-mail on a post that you subscribed to (notify).

                          Add me to the list of users that got this gay porn spam from Don Johnson. > This is certianly not something I want to see in my inbox. I certainly hope the issue is addressed ASAP.

                          On a personal note I'd like to take the opportunity to say ... may the fleas of a thousand rats infest the armpits of this spambot's creator!

                            Add me to the growing list too. Thankfully I got it through my GMail account so it was filtered. I only looked at the message because it said I had a PC from the Kubuntu Forums. I erroneously assumed it had been misfiled as spam. It was but it wasn't, if you see what I mean? The address it was sent from was right just the content was wrong as it included the PM contents >

                              Thinking out loud here... can bots be traced back to their source? I'm sure the fact that minors have seen this is breaking quite a few laws. We should to are part to make sure adult content is seen by only adults whenever possible.

                                Sorry, but I got both email and PM. This is not good. Lucky I don't have images enabled in my mail app.
                                you may be right but the image would have loaded and that is a no no.
