I'm afraid I don't use this forum any more, but I continue to get weird Buddhist spam PMs from new members with 0 posts. Is anyone else getting this stuff?

Thanks,
Jeff

Hi,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic
religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and
theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a
religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful
unity" - Albert Einstein

I have removed the account from the forum- If anyone has anymore trouble PLEASE let me know right away.
Every day I get about 40 applications to join the wonderful Anderson Forum- 2-3 are good applications the rest are just garbage. I try me best to keep this junk out of here but every once and a while one gets through.

Sorry for any trouble anybody experienced-Let me know if it happens again.

I'm smarter than the average bear.

Or just anti-social.

I got it, but never opened it. :D

I figured if she didn't put it in the "hi I'm new here section", there had to be a reason.

Someone has found a way to exploit forums running on the vBulletin platform (like this one). If you google "buddhist spam vbulletin" you can see it is happening quite a bit. Jerks could using this to route traffic to some external site in order to increase their Google rankings or for more nefarious purposes.

Everyone be careful. (mom mode deactivated)

Thank you Jack! I'm sure dealing with those sorts of things makes you wonder if sponsoring this forum is worthwhile at times. You are appreciated, and this is the most enjoyable forum I participate in. You do a tremendous job!
