this account https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=966077 just tried to get our login with phishing link in pm.

A few days before this phishing pm the account had posted a few questions in our thread.

Left negative trust on the account with a copy of the PM.

Seems password and e-mail have recently been changed so it could be that the account has been hacked.

Just report the PMs and they get banned pretty quick as that one did.

Account was created 5 days ago, so I doubt the password/email change has any significance.

This thread brought up another idea that I have had a few times.  I think the answer will be NO but I am asking hoping to be wrong.

Is it possible to set IGNORE in my PM settings for all users with < 100 posts?  Meaning not using a specific name as ignore, but a number such as 100 or any number I would want?  My experience is that many of these crap PM's come from accounts with < 20 posts and most less than 10.  My .02

For use of our account it wouldn't be good to ignore PM's of any user. In this case i was thinking there could be a check that if someone posts or pm's a link that looks like a link from the forum, but actually links to another site. It could be blocked.
