We had some PM spam yesterday, fortunately I was at the PC when it happened and since I have a couple of accounts it was easy to identify. They managed to get off about 100 PMs before I banned them. I'm pretty sure we already have a rate limit on how many PMs one person can send, but we might need additional restrictions for new users.

Personally I would suggest being very vague with what you say you are doing to protect against spam or anything else. I would only share specifics of that with the people that need to know.

We are no longer all together as one but separate mental patients, that yearn to be ejected out of this poisoned atmosphere to a warm bed and a friendly therapist.
