He/she is still at it. Honestly something needs doing about the lack of cover at the weekend I no admin have a life don't we all but either we need more BG's some with admin rights or we will continelly get targeted like this. The site has such a huge amount of users that we are bound to get targeted, something needs doing about it.

Iam sure teh site is looked at as a easy target 1. because little is done to remove posts promptly 2. when they get banned they come back again soon afterwards, these people just dont care, hit them where it hurts thats the only wayy report them to there host and get there site closed down

I dont want a BG job btw in case anyone asks I just dislike spammers.

That's me had a second PM from them.
Is there something I should do about this + should I just delete this Pm cos it keeps popping up

Poppycat

You could disable PM in control panel for now, I have.

Please just delete the pms and ignore. It will be dealt with but it is Saturday night and Martin doesn't pay anyone to be on MSE 24/7.

A lot is done to remove posts promptly but people do take holidays or even a night off.

Poppycat

Surely Martin could ask for BG to take over admin rights on a weekend and perhaps get more BGs on board obviously with limited powers until such time as they prove themselves.

I have deleted them...Thanks Poppycat and Edinburghlass.

I just deleted mine when I saw them too. It's no great hardship, and I think kicking up any kind of fuss about it is just paying more attention than he deserves to the spammer.

BGs don't have the authority or the ability to PPR or prevent posters posting or sending PMs.

The posts have been removed and Edinburghlass has pointed out a few times that the Abuse Team will deal with the poster when they come online.

Any further posts just give the spammer more publicity!:o

And yes, I had one too. :rolleyes:
