So how many people have been getting private message spams from LadyROOT and/or LadyXAdmin? Here's an example of the message:
Subject: Important message from the forum administration!

(I removed the URL for protecting those who's always tempted to click on links without a moment guess).
I also knew something was suspicious about that LadyXAdmin person because they can't call themselves an admin if they aren't an admin. Good thing the didn't PM me because I probably would've been stupid and opened it. XP
And wait, is that why so many people who joined back in 2004 have been signing on lately? I thought that was a bit strange too.... (And yes, I check the section where it says who is online, but only if there is a name I don't recognize.)
I only have email notification turned on for private messages for forums I know I won't visit all too often in case someone decided to private message me I know when I get it, that's how I found out about this spam and decided to forward it on and made sure the admins were notified about it.
So is there an easy way to report being contacted by one of these spambots?
Because I got a PM from one called 'MannInBlackk'.
"I am what comes out when the daytime becomes nighttime." He dramatically waved to the sky, which was a deep red from the sunset. "I emerge when the shadows lengthen and grow like weeds. It is this time that is the time of... twilight."
I received a PM which i believe is someone pretending to be admin...

I got the same exact message from the same person, only that it was my name in there.
To help cut down on this influx some, I did do a major user purge at the start of last week to remove a number of inactive accounts and accounts that hadn't been used in a long time (i.e. the start of 2009).
