I just thouht I'd fill you in on the recent need to input a security code on EVERY SINGLE private message reply. I wondered if it was just TO ME that it was being directed, but here is what a bouncer told me:
->CareBear ™: thanks for the info. a few days ago, 2 strangers left me identical messages, telling me to go to an URL because they said someone was copying all my pics
CareBear ™: We had an attack of a automated spammer about 2 days ago. They were hacking accounts and using them to spam. This way, it is harder to spam for the automated systems.
->CareBear ™: WHEN DID IT START? IT SEEMS STRANGE, IF IT IS WHEN ONE IS REPLYING TO A PRIVATE MESSAGE RATHER THAN A PUBLIC THING. HAVE YOU ACTUALLY HAD PROBLEMS IN THIS FIELD?
CareBear ™: Yes. Everybody has to do it. It's a security measure to help stop spammers.
->CareBear ™: COULD YOU TELL ME IF EVERYONE MUST NOW INPUT A SECURITY CODE BEFORE REPLYING TO EVERY SINGLE PRIVATE MESSAGE? IT HAS BEEN GOING ON ALL DAY,,,,
