PM spam to decline at GMC?

Spam via Personal Messages (PMs) has long been an irritant at the GMC as after creating an account there was previously no limit on the number of PMs a user could send. Hence usernames could be harvested en mass and messages touting the value of brand name trainer replicas, anatomy enlargement products and 3-member hastily created forums could quickly be sent to large numbers of forum members.
No longer! Chronic has announced that a flood control limit has been placed on sending PMs. “Currently the flood control is set to 1 minute, this may increase if needed.”
Whilst I have not received any PM spam recently I welcome this change.
I agree; good move on the part of the GMC Staff.
Great idea. i have been getting alot more spam recently so this is great news. Although, talking to all those people who only want to be in a relationship and nothing more is pretty entertaining.
