How to block Spammer(s) from filling your Inbox...

[mharm2k6]

I forgot who it was, but I had 2 people ask me if there was a way to block PM's so here's an instructable I made to help explain it. **I've ended up doing this because of people who see I say something on chat and then move on to PMing me.

Go into your PM's control panel and click "Rules, folders, & settings" under Options on the left:


Under "Add new rule" click "Sender" from the drop down menu:


Next, choose "Is foe" from the drop down menu:


Now Finally you can choose to "delete message" as I have it set, or you can make another folder for them to go in, or have them marked, etc.


If done correctly:


*Now whenever you add someone as a foe, they're messages will be dealt with (Other than that, I don't see the whole point of a "foe"). If this post is in the wrong place, or deemed too incredibly obvious- just let me know and feel free to move it to the right place/delete it. I don't know if this will be useful to that many people, but it's easier to follow then trying to explain it through chat.

You could ask admin to do an IP ban on a really bad spammer if you want, because as a mod many people PM you for help so its good to have your PM on.

Thanks, great tutorial.

EDIT: Also, it is usually wise to keep your email away from public. With it, anyone can go to one of those tracking sites, like this one and find out a lot about you. Could be very unpleasant.

Just thought I add that here.
