I've only been logged into the site for about an hour and a half and must have received at least a dozen of those "hello" private messages from different profiles and I've reported every single one. When is something actually going to get done about this?

I have given up reporting these profiles The admin cant be expected to keep up because as soon as one is closed down the bot these bastards use opens another one up.

I do wonder though if the site could make it so that PMs cannot be posted until the users has made - say - 5 posts on the main site.

Its a shame what these pests are doing to this site

I carry on reporting all of them, but I do wonder if admin get fed up of seeing all the reports. I know they're on the case but it is a pain.

Had 6 hellos already dont report anymore got fed up with doing it. As I still get numerous hellos no matter how many I used to report

I gather it isn't fixable for assorted reasons. I just delete them and move on.

Two in the last ten minutes!

Same here, I just delete them rather than report them. It's just easier to delete them rather than open them, then click on the user to report them & then return to the message to delete.
