Banned. You can tell your customers to click "Report To Admin" in the lower right corner if they ever again receive such PMs.

Hope nobody got tricked by this.
How about a similarity filter or flagging system when one registers a new account.
That should avoid, or at least limit such scenarios.

That would surely be hard to enforce, or even filter. What if the name was, 'lightingasic', user was of a different language, and has never met the guy? People should just use common sense, and actually look at names.

i thoguht that on forums there will be no same name accounts then how this guy uses the same name?

Edit : see the `q`. :)

you can report it to the mod or just give him a negative feedback if he is spamming you through the pm`s just get a screenshot and show them to a moderator.
