You are spending to much money on Melbourne Chat if you have to "look" for a ten dollar note, glen. :-)

Hi Peter, you tick the boxes first near the topics. then select "daily digest" from the drop down....and then click on "with selected".



Hi Iblis, lucky I have a day job!!! Though I must say it would be terrific if i could just run websites for a living. That would be super!!! <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/gathering.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':gathering:' />

I use the "View New Content" link in the top right: [url="http://www.melbournechat.org/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=new_posts&search_app=forums"]http://www.melbournechat.org/index.php?app=core&module=search&do=new_posts&search_app=forums[/url]

Peter - Just type your message and click "update" <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I don't know about anyone else but I have an idea that new members shouldn't be able to send personal messages until they hit a certain post count as I've been getting some spam in my inbox <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />



Thoughts?

[iblis.raeb]

Good Idea. Been a while since i got any spam email though. I did get a scam email from car sales dot com the other day.

[glen]

Please let me know who spammed.



I had previously blocked PM's from new members but then they couldn't write to me with a simple question.



So I turned PM for new members on recently.



Anyone who spams via PM is banned forever straight away. Please report to me straight away.



Cheers, Glen



EDIT: I just reduced the number of PM's a new member can send to reduce the risk of spamming.

Wow, that's some really specific configurability you got there, Glen.

[glen]

yeah the software is pretty good <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> not bad for "off the shelf".

Hi Glen,



These two idiots... "angel khalifa" and "christiana"... you can see them in my profile.



Zero post count - 100% annoying - odd stuff too, basically love letters and email links...



Normally I wouldn't care as I could disable my PM, but it then cuts the good guys and girls out.

[glen]

Also seems that a person called "Mariam" was spamming so I just banned that one. I will look at the others.

[glen]

Just as an update, it seems that Mariam and angel khalifa sent a few hundred messages to members. Apologies for this. I will try to ensure this does not happen again.



If you received an indecent proposal from either of these two, them please do not try and write to these 2 scammers!!! They are low life scum bags.



Cheers, Glen

[glen]

I just deleted about 4 accounts. Seems like the scammers were based in Senegal judging from their IP numbers.

Thanks for your help Glen, always happy with the service <img src='http://www.melbournechat.org/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumbsup2.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />

[glen]

No worries PZ! Thanks for letting me know about the problem.
