  • Which account sent that? It's obviously a scam, and the person responsible needs to be banned.
  • Bump

  • The account in question has been banned. As an interm solution, I've limited the number of private messages that can be sent by zero-post members.

    We're investigating additional spam control so this doesn't happen again in the future.
  • No worries. TribesNext Rocks!

    Thanks for everything.
