…The spam I keep getting from these forums? Anyone else seeing it?
Are you talking about PM spam? If so, SitePoint’s been mass-attacked this weekend.
Yes. That is exactly what I was asking about. Just wondering…
Thank you.
Sorry for the inconvenience. It was a very well planned attack (on a Sunday!!).
What exactly is written in the Pm spam? I am just wondering.
I don’t want to give them even more exposure by posting it, but in essence it’s a whole lot of bs about building and flipping blogs for a profit.
Okay, how do I differentiate the real message from a spam? Because I can’t tell if what they sent to me are spam or not.
If anyone sends you a PM offering you a service then that is spam.
Generally you should forward it to a mod and the person will be banned, but in this case you don’t need to bother as we are already onto it.
Well, that’s a big help and thanks for it. I should avoid responding to it and forward it to the mod when I am able.
Exactly. We hate spammers.
You and 38 thousand others
