I had one of the emails yesterday and one last week. At least it got me to scan my computer and check if it was for real. I tried to contact the moderator but their mail box is full and it wouldn't accept my message. So I came here to see if anyone else was getting these bogus private messages. And so it's good to see that the situation is being addressed.

Maybe the owners should contact them - I've only posted on here a couple times, and since I don't have a caddy any longer I won't be using the site much.... I may (in the future) if I get another caddy, be back on but for now I just browse on here...

Default What about...

What about requiring a CAPTCA (or whatever the heck that's called where you have to match the code) in order to send a private message? Creates a bit of a hassle for legit users but could eliminate the automated messages.
