Hi exerion,

So sorry about the spamming issue. Could you report the spam message so that we can ban the user?

Thanks for your interest in ESP8266!

I registered recently and the first thing I got, not even any response to some of my queries in the forum, was PM spawn messages... in some cirilic language.

Not nice.

well clearly you need to, since the current policy isn't working. genuine users will bear the pain for some initial postings.

Why so much spam using personal messaging

I've been getting a lot of spam emails (many in russian) using the personal messaging feature of the forum. Isn't there a way to clamp down on spammers? Probably disallow PMing till the user becomes an established user.
