    We are aware of the bots, and are removing them as soon as they pop up. Sorry about the spam.

    How do you know it's spam? Are they the ones always asking to chat with email addresses?

    I've still been getting them and unfortunately there isn't much the site moderators can do about it until we report it happening but I just got one yesterday again. It hasn't been getting worse for me so I think they aren't finding a specific account just randomly sending the message to users.

    Thanks for getting back to all the reports. It means a lot to users to hear back from the site overlords that they're being noticed lol I'll say you guys are definitely on the ball, was getting a message everytime I logged in for awhile there, but haven't had one the past few days.

    [quote]How do you know it's spam? Are they the ones always asking to chat with email addresses?[/quote] Several have been worded exactly the same, just with a different user name. All of those were from NYC and just joined a day or two before. Others had an e-mail address encouraging me to send them an e-mail message to chat about sexual matters. I just mark each one as SPAM and they go away.

    Started again and I have ticketed 10 profiles with most of them with the same sex photos as used on this site in the past.

    Yes i have been getting quite a few lately with people sending me mail with an email address on it so they can send me photos but I always produce a ticket and most times the profiles are removed from the site.
