There's nothing we can do unless these are reported- we don't have any kind of software that can... Wait, I have an idea.
Edit~
Erm, so thanks for reporting it :thumbsup: Forgot to finish that thought.

The problem is I can delete the PM's but not the emails that get sent out from receiving a PM.
I deleted the PM's this morning.

I got a malicious PM yesterday too (well I'm not sure if the link is malicious, but it is a fake PM). The user was forumAdmin and it said I had a virus on my computer and adviced me to click on a link to get virus software.

Please tell me you didn't click, :/. Staff members have colored names, that is just a random spambot.
I didn't click, don't worry ;).

Okay, good. Usually our Mod staff is good at catching them before the user actually see's the PM. However, if you have it set to e-mail you when you receive a PM, you'll see it via your e-mail.
Well I saw it via the forum interface and I received it yesterday haha. Wait this is my 666th post!

Hey, look at that, I got it too.
Thankfully I (and hopefully the rest of you) are smart enough not to fall for such a fail scam.

Hey! That's the one I got....
You know, I got a memo from my work that malicious emails and forum whispers // posts have increased exponentially. Interesting that it happens here, on a video game fan-site.

Took care of it. Look at the user's profile though -- most of the profile fields are filled out, :(.

Hmm interesting article. I wonder if I can get the Greek text somewhere online...
EDIT: I did find a page with greek manuscripts, but can't find that text there unfortunately :(.
http://www.csntm.org/Manuscript/
Quite an interesting website though. It's amazing to see the actual manuscripts.

Razzorrman was caught and eradicated last night.
Sixen deleted the PMs here on-site, but obviously can do nothing about the email notifications, if you have that option enabled.
