Banned, though as there's no one to remove the already sent messages some people may still be discovering them yet ...

Here too.

Would it be complicated for the admin who bans an user for spam PM to also authorize the removal of all that user's PMs?

If it is an admin that does so, he will no doubt (though note the process takes time). If one of us mods bans the spammer, you'll have to wait until an admin can remove the messages.

As mentioned before, unfortunately only an admin can remove the actual messages, I don't have that access. :frown:

I think Dennis is thinking more of the spammer itself :devil:.

May I just ask one question:
If I select a message in my inbox and click spam, is it the same as reporting here? Does that automatically send info to you guys about that spammer?

PS: Should there be a "report a scam-blog" feedback thread? The Nigerian letters are not kosher spam, either.

Like I told magnezone150, send a PM to espenao (community manager) and explain the situation to him, he'll get things fixed up.
