What's extra dumb about this is that "Charles Schwab" is listed as a guest...

Only members of the forum should be allowed to PM people.  I got these as PM's not emails.

That's annoying as all hell and I can't block him because he's not a member and you can't disable PMs here... The only option I can see is to delete the account....

I can't understand how non-members can PM.  No other forum I belong to allows that.

Quant, Iago's seen your suggestion and will keep it in mind if it gets bad (and if the code supports it).

I just got spammed by someone named Charles Schwab with rather vulgar images and links which may have been of a pornographic nature.

I think he had registered and since he's been kicked off, the messages now claim he's a guest...

Kudos to Iago for quick action - it's highly unfortunate that crap like this has to be shoved in front of us all, but in my years on this lists various incarnations I think this was only the second time any spammers had gotten through, and that's pretty darn good.

Yeah I got it. And I don't think anybody on this forum won't be a little insulted. I mean...I like guys and all, but that was just rude.

And it was strange because I noticed it wasn't sent out to me specifically but to Shannon. Anybody know how that could happen?
