Aparently not.
I recall Seb creating a thread about it (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1390905.0) some time back.



have been around for sometime.
Some years, IIRC.

report the PM to admin.
Reporting to Cyrus/hilariousandco (and lately SaltySpitoon aswell again) should be the fastest option.

Report the PM aswell.
If the user hasn't got red trust yet, link us to him, so others are warned.

@ Lutpin sir

Giving negtive feedback or Ban that user is not point

best option is that ban (Remove) that URL from this forum to stop these things

It's what I (and others) am abled to do, hence I do it.
It's no solution, but it's a start.

Agreed, however, if that's your whole point, I'd consider moving the discussion in the already created thread about this topic over here:

Handled it earlier, before noticing this thread. Thanks.

Sadly, not yet. But there's going to be something done about this soon.

Is it a new-forum-software 'soon' or a real one?  :-X

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
