Sandra1212 (CLick bait bot?)

I just reported it using the "contact us" access on the bottom menu bar of these pages. I suggest everyone else do as well.

The forum must have been hacked

Well, now I’m disappointed. I got that same message yesterday, but now that I find out several of us got it, I feel less special. So I guess there ISN’T a hot chick that is attracted to old bald guys.....rats.

In the future, it's best and easier for all involved to use the Report PM feature - similar to the Report Post feature. Please see the attachment below.

Also, the forum was not "hacked". It's not considered a hack when an account is created and sends Spam Private Messages. We're working on trying to minimize the Spam accounts while also not locking out legitimate members from signing up to use the site.
