We have changed some permissions and hope this will prevent future PM spam. But please do continue to report as inappropriate if you receive anything in the future.

@ShelleySessoms Keep up with the good work. As I already mentioned privately, these sporadic messages are just a small nuisance compared to the flooded forums we had earlier on.
