It won't "CRIPPLE" anything. Emails are just as good, but if some moron wants to try to trick you, they could use emails just as easily.
I wouldn't worry about it. Just don't click OR POST the links!

Or how about basing it on longevity: The longer you've been here and the more posts you've made, the greater your PM priveleges.
But a forum without PMs would be crippling, and it would definitely be letting the spammers win, and making a whole community suffer for the misdeeds of the occasional drunken horse's ass. Please don't do that :)

This spam/phishing problem seems to be widespread through PHPBB forums all over the Internet, and I haven't found a way to prevent it yet. If anyone has heard of a solution, please send me an email. (pberg1@gmail.com)
If the problem persists and I can't figure out a way to block the spammers, I might disable PMs entirely on the forum.

If you actually GOT the message, you are lucky. I got nothing but a blank screen after I M F'd them because they were deleted already.
GOOD JOB SID!

Good grief burger2227, chill out with the asinine name calling willya? You look stupid with your chest all swelled out like that, over nothing. Mike Chambers is right, it would take a retard to click the link in a post that says "This link is a phishing attempt"... and even at that, the retard would be asked for NeonVincent's username and password, not his own. So, it would take a DOUBLE retard to clear the username field and enter his own, and then his password, AFTER getting there from a "Warning: this is a phishing link" post.
And what takes a TRIPLE retard? How about attacking a newbie for reporting... never mind.
= Neon is not a new user
Yeah, I'm an old timer with a long beard. I believe I have participated in precisely ONE thread before this one, and that this right here is my EIGHTH post since I joined here. Yeah, I'm a real old salt of this sea.
And speaking of that ONE other thread I was in, it was YOU who was so helpful and got me the answers I needed... so what went wrong? Did you just wake up on the wrong side of the bed of nails?
How about we drop it and move on?

WHO ARE YOU? Don't mess with me BIG BOY! 2 posts in 2 years tells me that you are either ignorant about programming or you just like to not participate. Thanks for participating in your own small way.

There are no such tests here, but why be an ass and include the link? You are just as bad as the spammer!
what? he's just reporting the PM and outing it as spam. (i got one too)if somebody clicks the link from this thread, they're pretty stupid. don't be an ass, nothing wrong with what he did here.
