Spam in private messages of the forum

[timofonic]

Hello.

I notice spam messages in the forum. It seems like buddism is having adoption problems...

Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein

The user has zero post, so it's obvious that it's a bot. Any way of fixing this? It seems like the site no longer works or was some kind of retarded spam for a hosting service.

Here are some references:

Jeanette has now been banned, thanks for bringing this to my attention.

I had one of those spams some time ago and forwarded them to Michael. I guess they've been dealt with too.

Best to simply report the spam to a mod to be taken care of. Isn't there a mechanism to keep bots out?

I have received a spam PM from a user with 0 posts, Patricia2. With a link to some buddhist thing.

Please destroy it.
