Anyone else getting PM's regarding your ad(s), from brand new member with zero feedback, sending you someone else's outside direct email?

I have gotten 3 such PM's in the last 1-2 days, from 3 different brand new members. I suspect those members are spammers/spammers. I reported 2 of the messages, and I foolishly deleted the first one (but only because I hadn't noticed a pattern yet).

I doubt that anything will become of those reported bogus users. This place is sorely lacking in moderation. I sent the site owner a PM regarding that, and volunteered to become a moderator, and help keep this great site great. It is going downhill. I also mentioned that I would come on here at least once a day and archive or delete the Wanted and Free ads that were finished (and some even have the titles edited to say Please Delete). Nobody deletes or archives them, and they are just PURE CLUTTER.

I expect that narcissistic (nasty name withheld) will reply to this thread with stupid comments and idiotic memes. People like that here really drag this site down, too. They are the same (nasty name withheld) that reply to For Sale ads with idiotic drivel, cluttering up ads with nonsense. I'm not talking about replies that help an item sell, like "I used to have one of these and it was great. This is a good price". I'm talking about narcissistic drivel.

Again, I am just wanting a great site to stay great. I volunteered to help with that, but the owner didn't even have the common courtesy and decency to reply to my PM. Again - this site is going somewhere, in a handbasket. I truly think that the owner just does not care.

These spammers are being dealt with, report them! And for the guys reporting, thank you. :yo:

I got a message from a person who's membership states 2013, yet they have zero feedback and ratings. I have chosen to ignore them and I was half tempted to flag them as a fake. 7 years a ODT stalker, you need to be gone.

whole lot of purging needs to be going on.

Agreed on the purge Biker. Believe it or not I still have those old 28 gauge rounds I got from you up at Baldino's. I gave a few away for a display in a gun shop and I just can't bring myself to shoot them, nor do I want to sell them. There are enough Winchesters to make a complete matched box and I've toyed with the idea of buying a box just to fill it to be placed on the man shelf.
You take care and hopefully we'll cross paths again some day soon.
