Default PM Spam

Has anyone experienced it on our Forums?

Just curious, I got 1 report recently; I'm curious if the spammers have expanded their attack pattern.

Yeah, what has pdoel done for us lately?

I think we need to vote for new orange badgers!

Some cool orange cloaks would work too!

I haven't gotten any spam in my PM. It seems I never get legitimate messages in my PM, either!

There's no apostrophe before an 's' when you're talking about the plural version of a word. "I took some neat photo's!" is NOT correct.

I've had PMs like that, but they were always legitimate. Of course things do change.
