Title: Unwanted PM's
Post by: PWHoppe on Nov 02, 2006, 05:14
If your getting any PM's that you don't want or you find objectionable, please notify either Nuclear Nascar, Mike Rennhack, me or any Sr. Moderator and if possible forward the PM you were sent.

It seems that several folks have been getting some unsolicited PM's. We'll remedy the situation for you, thanks for your patience.

I'd like to echo what Pat has said.  I just logged on a few minutes ago and had 13 new PM's from several of you who had received an unwanted PM.  This user has been banned.  Please accept my apologies for this unsolicited garbage.

            >:( The problem with these unwanted PM's is, if you open them at work on company computers you may find yourself in a bit of trouble...

Okay, someone should have warned me. I opened my message box and when I gasped my daughter thought someone had died. It took me 10 minutes to finally get her to take a look and when she did I laughed so hard that I had back spasms (more on that later).

Yes I was shocked, disgusted and embarassed but I thought it was funny too as it is so unbelieveable.

Be careful opening those links because you never know what kind of spyware or viruses or whatever could be hiding on those pages waiting to just infect your computer with all kinds of stuff.  Remember don't click on links that you don't know what they are.

I have banned the user, and run a program to delete all of the messages from the database.

I am sorry that this has transpired.

                     Mike,
      It's not your fault... There are a--holes out there and we all need to be careful.  We never know, where, who or when...
      You and all your people are doing a great job....Thanks.
