    It is silly I had to click on PM twice before I got to delete it (without reading)

    You get a tiny tickable square box on the left with pull down options below it.


    Has anybody reported it?? (I didn't know how)

    I've reported the user to the abuse team, and given them a link to this thread.

    No Spam/abuse option in pull down (looking at MSE pm) - only Delete/mark as read/unread/download options

    I can see it on my opened MSE PM, it is because I was too scared to open the spam PM I didn't see the abuse button !!

    Report, block and delete, we all seem to be getting plenty of these of late from various members. Don't give them the satisfaction of a mention in a thread.
