How to Block Sender of Private Message
Never expected this in EmailDiscussions; new member (March 2016) <Deborah1> seems to think private messages is a place for "I want to be your friend..." messages. No doubt the next request will be to send money. Is there a way to report abuse and block people abusing the forum?

Got the same message from the same user.
One can disable private messages in the User Control Panel, but this is a very blunt instrument, there is no way to create a "blacklist". |

Hope the moderators pick up on this and "terminate" her or at least the fraudsters purporting to be her.

Since two long standing members complained about that spammer, he/she were banned.

Thanks, Reuven. I also received the same PM spam within the past 24 hours and deleted it.
