I just got this private message don't know if anyone else did, from this guy "leRWGfQ"

the message subject was "Hello!"

and he gave me this link

http://sourceradix.com/m/2009038.html
link removed
(i removed one number so no one accidentally goes to it)

I dunno, just seems fishy to me, could be a dangerous page. Just thought admins might wana know.

I got the PM too, user has been banned.

All private messages sent out by the user were also deleted, anyone who doesn't already know won't.

Thanks for confirming that it wasn't just me though :)

LAST ONE ALIVE, LOCK THE DOOR!

But that's more or less true, DQ is plauged be Spambots.

Spambots are like rabbits. They multiply and you can't seem to get rid of them once they have.

No offense, but what is a bot? Is it some kind of dumbass or something.

its a user that actually isn't a person. get it, "bot" as in "robot". It's goal is to either solicite a site, or send out spam, viruses, and other things of that sort.

Ah, yes. I was guessing that.

Hey, I've noticed in alot of screenshots for computers with DQ on them, the little webpage sign is replaced with a D. I don't get that on my system. Is it like and Internet Explorer 7 issue?

True but what you should do is keep them isolated from yourself by "fencing them in".
