I deleted all of the PMs. There were about 1700 of them.

You should always report spam PMs. You won't be banned for inaccuracy.

Reported it too. There were 1700 messages or accounts ?
Probably messages. He didn't mention accounts in the post, did he?

Wow 1700!
Those new accounts need to wait for 6 minutes for each PM, so they need to spend 1.7 hours to send them even with 100 different IPs, right?

And also, I remember some mods were saying that if your report percentage is over 60% it's above average.

You don't get bad reports on messages. That's just forum posts and the only 'bad' thing that would happen if you get a bad report would be your accuracy percentage goes down a point, but reporting unsolicited mail like this wouldn't effect your score.

Just report the messages when you get them.

Done, thanks.
I forgot about that feature Tongue

I'm sometimes hesitant about reporting them since I read about if you report it and you're wrong it can affect you some how.

Seems there's quite a few of these bots messaging people. I got a message from the above user this morning. Just report the messages when you get them.
