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.

Spambots and PM's

Not a sheeple.
Think for yourself, don't let the magic TV box and social media do the thinking for you.
Question EVERYTHING!!
Just because you have a youtube review channel doesn't make you special.
I look forward to attending a Botcon soon only to settle matters with several idiots in person (yes this is a threat).

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

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.

All I need is the name, no need to do all that.
