Block spam, change your settings
 

I have received at least 6-10 spam via my email or via the private message sector. I just edited some of my profile settings and hope it will help block these creeps. I find it difficult to understand computer settings but here is what I did.

1. Under CP User, under Login and Privacy:
disable private messages

2. Under CP User, under Login and Privacy:
disallow V Card

3. Under Profile Privacy:
restrict to everyone

The only one I feel like will make a difference is to disable private messages....This will be inconvenient if I really want to send a PM. Maybe in a month or two I will change back. The other 2 that I changed, I have to admit I do not understand.

Maybe some of the computer experts can comment when they have time. Take my instructions with caution. I am not positive that I took the right steps.

Merry Christmas! May a Happy New Year find work for the spammers and the creeps.

Thanks, I did all of this a few years ago... (they every once in a while get in, but fairly rare)... and it is a good reminder!
