Please report the member as a PM spammer, not the PM.

 

Contrary to popular belief, the moderation team cannot read random PMs.

The spammer has been banned and its PM starts deleted, after having been reported via the report function by several users.

 

As Sara says, rather than starting a thread about it in Meta, you need to report it, not only because we can't read your random PMs, but because--all together now--the moderation team does not and cannot read every post on the forum. The report function brings any issue immediately to our attention.

 

Thanks.

What if every post is reported?

 

:P
