Are you being spammed?

just weird or offensive too?

Please do…

I’ve made your post private hope you understand and thanks for mentioning it, I’ll get back to you on the content. I’m sure you know you to be careful online talking to people you don’t know online especially given the fun loving nature of our familiar SJ trolls…

By way of a general reminder…

On the suject of abusive or inapropriate behabviour:

Although we make every effort to keep our community in order the following rules are worth bearing in mind if you ever have a problem with another user’s behaviour:

Rule one: Don’t have anything to do with the person in question.
Rule two: Keep a record of what happens (emails, private messages, posts, etc…).
Rule three: Tell a member of staff about it right away.

they may think thats their motive in life.. be annoying lol

I think I’ve sussed this out

When people want to send spam messages like this they often start with the members lists. Those who use characters like “*” in their user names come first because of the way computers process text

“*” is represented by code 42 and “A” is represented by code 65 so “*” comes before “A” in a list of text items on a computer when they are sorted in alphabetical order.

which is why those of you whose user names start with “*” or “A” are more likely to get this sort of stuff..
