Rob Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Good morning folks!I just wanted to let everyone know that I am sorry for the spam messages that came from one of our members. As most of you know, members have the ability to communicate with one another using the private message feature. Although this is a great feature, we will have some people take advantage of it. To help fix the problem, you will now have to make a few posts to be able to send out PMs. I know this will be an inconvenience to some and I apologize about that. Please know we take this seriously and understand how important it is to keep the board spam free.Have a great day!Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Another note:If you currently have met the minimum post requirement to send PMs, you will need to make 1 more post to activate the PM feature on your account. Just wanted to give you a heads up on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mailahn97 Posted April 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks again Rob. As always you guys take good care of us. I was joking with a few people yesterday as I didn't get any of these PM's. I think that is the least you can ask of someone in order to be able to use some features on here.

Tyger Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Thanks Rob. I got online late in the day, so I figured you had a lot of reports about him. It's really sad & frustrating that people feel they have to do that!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pappyld04 Posted April 8, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 You and Meg got a good jumpstart on them! I hope you blocked the IP, though he was likely using an anon or re-routing through another one! DAMNED FINE WORK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ladylove Posted April 9, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Even though it seemed awfully aggressive, you fixed it quickly. Thanks.Just an FYI: I've made a bunch of post and am still unable to access PM. Not imperative, but I'm sure I'm not the only one, there may be a bit of a glitch in the program, or what ever.....

Members ladylove Posted April 14, 2009 Members Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 It's working great now, and I did received an e-mail stating some safe guards you have in place. You did a fabulous job fixing the problem in a quick and efficient manor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyger Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 Remember, even if you post a response that Meg/Rob posted, as to an issue, be sure to e-mail them about it too. They usually check their e-mails more than they do the forums/PMs. It's not hard to remember, it's their names (Meg is Meaghan@TooTimid.com), with @TooTimid.com. Glad y'all are right on top of it. Thanks for the vigilance!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
