Spam mail
Sunday 5 September 2010 at 23:03
Hi everybody!
Friday an evil user used the private message feature to send spam to more than 900 users.
Because we automatically send an e-mail (unless you have unchecked this setting in your profile) to inform you about your incoming private messages, you received an e-mail.
This user was banned for life on the same day, but this was just a "quick fix".
So last weekend, we worked hard to implement an antispam/flood system efficiently.
If someone wants to do this again, they will be automatically banned for one day after a few e-mails.
We are really sorry for this spam message and we hope that this doesn't happen again.
Sincerely,
The PlayOnLinux Team
