Recently there has been a rash of spambots Pm'ing people on the board.
If you receive any PM's with strange links DO NOT CLICK ON THEM.

Please report them to the staff via PM and I will deal with them.

ALSO it is important that when you report you spell the spambots name correctly.

What is a PM. More importantly, what does the link do? Is it ads or is it a snopes worthy virus?

A PM is a Private Message. It is like an e-mail system that only works for registered users. The links probably contain viruses and spyware.

I got two of them last week but deleted them, sorry CB.
