***************
Die painfully okay? Prefearbly by getting crushed to death in a
garbage compactor, by getting your face cut to ribbons with a
pocketknife, your head cracked open with a baseball bat, your stomach
sliced open and your entrails spilled out, and your eyeballs ripped
out of their sockets. F*cking bitch



I really hope that you get curb-stomped. It'd be hilarious to see you
begging for help, and then someone stomps on the back of your head,
leaving you to die in horrible, agonizing pain. ******


Shut the f*ck up f *ggot, before you get your face bashed in and cut
to ribbons, and your throat slit.
***************

Again, please do not reply to this email. You must go to the following page to reply to this private message:

All the best,

The member has been banned.

In the future, if you receive such PMs that violate CorvetteForum's rules, you'll find a Report PM icon in the upper right corner of the message that appears as . Click on that icon to report the PM. It's a feature that's similar to the Report Post feature.

I got the same PM just after midnight and forwarded it to pewter99. Apparently others got it too and from the text it looks like a cut and paste message.

It's too bad there are idiots like this out there and I would expect the sender will be back under another username unless there is a way to block registration by IP address.

I don't know if you already have an anti-spam system, but you can check out http://www.stopforumspam.com (naturally the site is currently down )

They maintain a list of proxy IPs that's updated frequently throughout the day. It's been very helpful in combating griefers in my game. And if they're stupid enough not to use a proxy, contact the ISP they're using. Most respectable ISPs are willing to help you alleviate the problem and drop a bad apple from their customer base as well.

Yes, CorvetteForum does have some filters in place, however, it's not desired to be too overly aggressive to have legitimate members included just to combat a few that can be rather easily and quickly cleaned up.
