Greetings, I just discovered that my private message inbox has been spammed. The spammer has this account. The spammer has no computers attached to SETI. The subject on the spam is this: THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL PROOF: THE ONLY ROCK METEORITE WHIT ALIEN HOLOGRAM. The message is HUGE and in multiple languages. Has anyone else been a victim of this blatant act? Have a great day! :) Siran CAPT Siran d'Vel'nahr - L L & P _\\// Winders 11 OS? "What a piece of junk!" - L.

I reported that one to Eric on Tuesday. Haven't heard back and that account is still taking up a large swat of my inbox. Lots of all CAPS. |

Yep, it has been going around. I'm curious how he did it. |

Yep, that's a me too. So what does he (she) hope to gain? Why? And all done by manual persistence? Or by some web script?... We have a very curious world... Keep searchin'! Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |

Just use the red X in the inbox, it will filter the [redacted]I know, but by leaving him alone you can easily check if admin has done something with the information (like banish the spammer). As I understand, Eric wasn't around the past week, so that's probably why the [redacted] is still around. I'm sure he'll evaporate from my inbox eventually. :) |
