Please remove this user from SSC. I am receiving inappropriate SPAM emails from this user. They are going into the member list and sending SPAM to SSC members.

I have now banned several users with very similar names, and have also banned the IP address that that was originating from.

We're fighting back as best as we can. Apologies to people for the emails that you may have received. Unfortunately there's only so much we can do to protect against this pro-actively. And we're obviously up against a bit of a moving target. We're doing everything we can to help your experience.

If it becomes a regular problem, we will look into restricting the ability to send other members emails/PMs until you have been established on the site for a while.

I used to be a Mod for another forum, and we had to resort to this. I can't remember exactly, but you had to have like 9 posts or so before being able to mail/PM

That's not a bad idea, Richard. I'll see if there's a setting.

We've banned number of IPs/Users, but they keep trying new places.
