yeah, i've received a few of those types myself where people advertise contests or join a site. it's really annoying if you ask me. i consider it spam cause it's kinda useless.

You've reported them? I've personally not seen a report from you on PMs box spam. If it continues, just tell them to stop nicely, then block them if necessary.

I've been getting these too. They also make me add comments to their site and tell me were to go. That person is now on my foe list.

I find it really annoying. If you want to advertise something, put it in your signature or something. PM stands for Private Message and I've always considered it to be used for more personal conversation. I also like PMs that have had a little thought put into them, instead the same cut-and-paste message that's been sent to 50 other members.

Personally I just delete any PMs like that as soon as see them, no need to really read it or reply but if they continue to spam me with them I just reply "No. :]" and that's almost always the end of it.

It can be annoying but at the same time It could actually be cool most of it is spam but I Like to see new sites Also this is just my opinion and I dont want to cause a flame war.

I was annoyed when I recieved this and that they were telling me what to do.  That's the one I got. They did the same to me. she forced me to add a comment. She forced me were to go. If she's webranking her sites, then she is doing is poorly.
