Dear Southwesterngrad,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We've been working hard on some new ideas to combat spam and I think we've come up with a solid solution. As with anything on this scale, it'll take a lot of work and community testing before it's perfected, but we'll make it happen :).

I'll mention this in tonight's team update. Thanks for keeping us informed.

I haven't gotten anything like that, thank goodness! How awful, though, to have to be bothered with such stuff!
