You can stop the cheap bitcoin spam to your forum acct by going to your Account Settings under Profile at the top. There is a little check box that says "show others my online status". Uncheck it, and that should stop all the spam to your forum account

Peace

You can also set a rule in your inbox to direct certain messages containing phrases or words and delete them immediately so whenever I get spam mail, I just copy the message title and make a rule to delete it immediately and I haven't received any for weeks and I do appear online.

Hey guys, I know it's incredibly annoying to be getting these PMs on the main site; rest assured we're exploring different options for stopping them.

There is only 1 real option of stopping the spam - content filtering. As much as the philosophers here are going to hate it, there is no other option in a place which is anonymous. You can't identify who they are, but you can sure as hell identify their posts with good enough filters.

stexo, its believed your offline list is the source of this, i wont discuss who mentioned this.

Ye Im getting them every day 10-20-30 the names keep changing but the messages are the same shit viagra stuff. You cant blame SR as they keep using new profiles, SR shut one down but they are already using another. I dont know how they could stop it from happening. Its a pain in the arse but I dont want to blame SR they have their plates full, I dont mind a little hassle.

They are pricks tho. No one is sending them shit, money or whatever so they might just give up coz they get nothing for it.

We're all agreed they are cunts. Some times I think that the bad people on SR are actually competitors trying to shit stir and make this the best site look bad, this place is the shit. Love it.

Its a pain in the arse but you can deal with the problems, you just delete a load of messages. Im sure SR will sort some thing sooner or later, just chill out. They are all dicks tho.

Hey where are all the uber geek hackers. Start tracking these cunts, digging them out, real names addresses see if we cant show them the hassle we anonymous people can cause compared to spam mail.

If anyone thinks mine is the only offline list circulating, they are delusional. Noticed mine has been taken down, not to mention the fact vendors who weren't on my list are getting messages and some who are on the list aren't receiving them. You don't need to let me know who said it, frankly I don't care (despite the fact I'm aware). If they have the ability to create spammers, they certainly have the ability to collect vendor lists quicker than I do.

I told SR ages ago who I think is doing this crap and I bet I'm rite and guess what this vendor sells you got it btc that you'll never see and generic viagra fakes too the reason how and why I say it's vendor COLLAPSES is cos when he robbed me whilst arguing with him in the forum all of a sudden I got bombarded with spam out of the blue this is going back some 4 months ago I'm pretty positive it's vendor collapses like I said as I'm arguing with him I get bombarded with btc and viagra spams I told SR to no avail lets see if they look into it now and if I get thanked or not anyway mr vendor collapses I know it's you without a doubt what a coincidence ha btc n viagra it's definitely fucking him man defo defo defo oh well I just hope someone takes heed as once his vendors account is shut down I bet you a grand the spamming stops I bet you anyway I've said my bit on this

I'm sure this will be an unpopular suggestion, but why not require a (small) BTC donation for all new members, buyers or otherwise, on both the forums and the SR site? I'm sure it would cut down on spam and would also eliminate inquiries from those not yet ready to make a purchase.

Obviously implementing this might take a bit of work, but with luck the donations would more than cover the expense.
