Forums - Website Topics - Are you receiving NSFW private messages?

I never open VGC at work so technically speaking I don't have to worry about NSFW messages regardless of me receiving them or not

But jokes aside, kudos to the mods' team for dealing with those parasitic messages and those bots accounts. They really can be a scourge in forums. I used to go to this other forum long ago and while their website was decently made, the info relevant and all that, they had these bots invading the forums with clickbait messages linking to very suspicious websites, well you get the picture but that was not what was odd. The weird thing was how the mods on that website did barely bother to clean up the site so many times I reported spam messages (not even in private but in the forum itself) and a week later that spam message was still there. It was really a mess and I'm simply not going to that forum anymore cause I suspect foul play as in the website is somehow part of the spam, they get paid to turn a blind eye or whatever the case may be.

Anyway I have hitherto never received suspicious messages of any kind over here and if I ever do I'll let the mods know.

I don't even check my messages anymore. Gave up on it a couple of weeks ago.



I got multiple daily for the past months and I stopped bothering reporting them all. So I had to set my PMs to friends only. Implementing a report button on PMs should be bumped to a number one priority.

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

I've been getting 4-5 of these for a few weeks and the last days it's been 8-14 - it's from a different account every day.
I'm pretty sure accounts with anime girl avatars are being targeted by these.

I was about to say... every person answering "yes" to this thread has a lady for an avatar.

On another note, if you would like to receive NSFW messages, hit me up.



Apparently the bots don't like it when you block their PMs.

Same thing for me. 

 

And we can't delete those ones if I'm not mistaken, so that's great...
