How much PM spam do you get?

QUOTE (Black Angel @ January 10, 2010 07:14 pm) Not much.. but usually, all it takes is one, and then they are added to my word filters..
I just bann people who mass PM all users since it is very annoying, but I got a feeling it is the same people rejoining my forum and mass PM spamming people on my foruma.
 
Not many, ever. I make it rather clear that I ban on first offence. So I don't usually get many PMs.
 
I mostly get them from Myspace, and social networks. Plus, old forums which have been abandoned.
 
I've maybe got 10 during my three years so far on the net.
 
On my forum, I don't get many, HOWEVER, I do get it all the damn time when I am on other forums. I changed my email, and while, that USUALLY takes care of the problem, on one forum in particular, I still ended up getting email from the forums.. what happened was that the admin, had harvested everyone's email address and kept sending them emails about the forum. so what I ended up doing was forwarding all of the emails they sent, to their email address. So that anything I got, was sent right back to them.

I remember getting an email from this one forum, and it was a love letter to another member on the forum sent by an admin.. WTF?!

I had one admin who took my account info, made a new forum, and started posting as me on his new forum. I asked him to remove my account info and he refused and I ended up going to the host his forum was on, and then filing a complaint.
 
I've never had a report on my own forums, but I have been pmed an advertisement. Maybe 3-5 times.

I've done it myself but not, in a sniveling way. I only did it once a long time ago and that was for my suikocross, and I only contacted 3 people.
 
I only contact people. I think will be interested in my forums and websites and pm them.
