Yay for forum spam

Recommended Posts

I got a message like this in my PM inbox:

Dear, Erkki;emma_;Intrepid Homoludens;ragnar;New_Order!

A virus alert was noticed on your computer.

We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: [edit: removed link]

That sounds serious. You'd better do what they say. It is the Idle Thumbs Forum Administration after all.

Also, is it really safe to have that URL still functional for people to click on it? D:

I banned that guy. I never get PMs here so it was clear something was amiss. :yep:

Bleh, got another one. Banned him too, but probably an admin should get involved at this point. :~

Let me know if you keep getting these from now on. AG got hit by a similar spam attack awhile ago, and I applied the same fix here.
