Thinking of PMing other members to join your forums, check out your products or sending out other forms of Spam? Consider this a formal warning... sending unsolicited spam to other members is pathetic and will warrant a ban on the spot.
To all members! If you receive spam from another member, please be sure to report it to me or a mod.
Thanks!

Wow... didn't even realize it was THIS wide spread. People are just so pathetic. There are tons of ways to advertise your site on P2L in a legit manner, but some folks still need to be asses.

Actually the majority of complaints come from long standing members.

He also instructed me that I should seek for a foreign partner in any country of my choice who will assist me transfer this money in overseas account where the money will be save and invested wisely.

It can or we can do our best to prevent it, we can also disable members completely from using messages at all. But if no one tells us we are not magic genies to guess.
Bringing this back up again, too many have been hit by members sending spam messages in the last week.
Please report them to Staff asap so we can suspend their acounts.

Bumping this topic up after speaking with Dan, please report to an active online staff member asap if you receive any type of spam message on this Forum.
We've just had a member message 100's of members on this Forum before anyone reported them, the quicker you report them the quicker we can suspend their account.
