Spam via Private Message

College Confidential Community

Please be aware that the site has come under some kind of spam bot attack this weekend that are sending spam via our private message system. The moderators have not been able to keep up with the volume of the bot accounts but have a message out to the new admin. Our hope is that an IT ticket will be created tomorrow and the situation will be resolved.

Thank you for your patience!

Thanks - wasn’t sure whether to delete or not. No issue - can just ignore.

It seems like these spam bot users have circumvented the prohibition against new users sending private messages except to users who sent private messages to them.
