Apologies! I literally forgot you were an admin. Maybe because you weren’t as active when I was active, and now you’re active in forums when I am not so that caused some confusion on my end.

Ah! Sorry for not acknowledging your presence! Truth be told I am still relatively new (5 months and mostly dormant) to this forum and i also have the same situation as Azyleo. Rest assured you will be informed of the next.

To be fair, I have only become more active within the last three weeks. RPG2000 does have the reasonable excuse, being that he and I never and any forum contact. Other than that, just keep me and MSG up to date and all is well

...I am forced to make Azyleo's words my own, because I too overlooked that MPG is a keymaster.

Last time I checked your profile, a few months ago, you weren't marked as one; While I did notice the change when reading your posts I still hadn't made the connection on my brain

Will be more careful from now on... And if I forget and write only "MSG" I can always say it was a typo, right?

Yep I got all of the last three. Hasn’t it been only a few days?

(Or has it been a month already...)

WARNING: potentially dumb question alert

I always end up deleting them before I get a screenshot, then sending off my report/complaint/whatever its called w/o proof. ‘M I the only one who feels so guilty?

You have no reason to feel so guilty at all. Chances are that the spammers sent ones to the mods which will get him banned.

Aww, I used to be so popular, last spam PM I received was a while ago

No wait, that's good, it is less spam to go through on my email

EDIT: What I mean is, I wonder if spambots learnt how to not PM staff or not yet? =/

Litany, essential people or AI of a very basic nature that to around to sites, make an account, and spam/scam people with pm's. Also, just in case they are getting smarter, I would suggest everyone who gets said scam/spam message to pm MSG and I, therefore it is much easier to pinpoint and then a lot easier to get rid of. Just a suggestion.
