I received a spam mail from someone claiming to have met me on the forum, wanting a 'lasting relationship'. Anyone else?

I've had one other report of this last week. There is definitely a spambot in amongst the legitimate members (hell, to be honest, there are probably a few). Almost impossible to track down though, because the spam never comes from the same address that is registered.

The cure is simple (well, it's prevention actually) - go to your profile and make sure that the box titled "Hide email address from public?" is checked. That stops other members (and bots that are members) from seeing your email address on your profile and under your avatar. @ Averatu - I've changed yours already...
