Just got a PM with a link that looks pretty suspicious from a user with no posts and no character on armory.

Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

Only way to fix problems like this is to make it so that way only registered members with over 2k rating can PM anyone.

Getting 10 pm's a day asking for hunter/druid advice is starting to get a little crazy.

I've also deleted all PMs sent by "Stephanie", and am looking into further measure to prevent this from occurring.

I also checked out the site via proxy and it does not seem to be a keylogger, just a run of the mill spammer. I would still run a virus scan if you happened to click on the link just to be safe.

Minor restrictions on PMs would probably work. 1600-1700+ ratings would stop spammers, at least.
