Hi Adam

I would imagine James and Eric are asleep at the moment but will look into it when they see this.

Thanks

The spammer is no longer a member of wetpixel. Man he/she must have gone to a LOT of effort to send out those PM's - I'm sure it took time.

There is no easy, automated way to spam from Wetpixel. You have permission to send messages to everyone else on the board, but that's it. Perhaps the user had a script that started messaging everyone alphabetically -- I can't imagine it would be worth the effort, especially because we have anti-spam measures in place that prevent you from sending messages in rapid succession.

By default, your e-mail should be hidden from the board. Members can still message you, however, via PM. There is no way for someone to automatically harvest e-mails from the site.
