Unsolicited PMs
Has anybody else been getting inundated with PMs from female minors lately? I used to send a stock response to the effect of "I strongly advise that you don't message strange men online" but have given up now due to the number of them. I am concerned about the safety of the youngsters.

It's been over a year since I'd seen any. They're most likely actually spam, so please report them to the moderation staff when you get them.
I will now resume lurking silently.

I typically get messages from males, usually teenagers.
I am not inundated with these, but I have received some inappropriate messages that I've reported, so I would say the safety concern is a valid one.

I have received some as well wherein my personal contact info is requested. I have also received some that I know are spam and some that send up flags of possible predators due to the content. When they are borderline content, I will reply that this is a family oriented site. I also advise them that, if it continues, they can (and will be) banned from the site, In addition, when I have concerns, I post it in the Moderator's Forum so all the Mods know to keep a watchful eye on them.
Sky, one thing that I am sure of is that some people sign up and say they are a certain age or gender when they are not. It is sometimes difficult to believe what is stated which is why we try to keep a very watchful eye on anything that seems off or suspicious.
In addition, you can also block any unwanted people sending you PMs.

SMILE and people will wonder what you are up to!

Ive gotten six spam PMs from the same person today. I'm going to block them, but I also reported one of the messages.
Just got whacked with a different scam message rip.
Reported and blocked that guy.

I got hit with 9 spam PM's on 9/11 of 2022, but since then, nothing. Hopefully that means it has stopped/
