Reporting a spammer

I don't have permission to post in forum comments section.

I got a pm from user account 'Jessie' saying this:
Hi,I'm new here, how's it going?"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein---Jessiehttp://jessie2.awardspace.com


Here is the profile:
http://www.itsallpc.co.uk/members/jessie.html


If I were you I'd ban the IP, and nip this problem in the bud, I've had spam bots on some of my forums, and they're a bugger to get rid of.

I don't post here much, but I thought I'd tell you anyway.

I keep banning the users that do it, but I personally can't ban IP's. I'll pass it on to someone that can.

In the meantime, keep reporting any of them, with the full username of the sender.

Sorry!

Tom.

Yeah, i've let him know the IP that needs banning. But if we're gonna get on top of this, every single message needs reporting so the users' IP can be banned.

1) Whats wrong with this one?
2) You should really forward the PM onto me, instead of posting it on the forum as it's easier all-round.
