I log into menewsha everyday (well midnight and 6pm so thats twice a day? O.o ) and o logged on today to see a pop up stating that I have received a donation. I check my pm's and saw the massage say "I made you an avi art" I looked under their avi and it said they were banned. (they signed up on the 25th,last logged in yesterday" So was it a spam pm or did they really donate but got banned? As for gold amount- I have no idea if my amount has differed.

I think he hit up pretty much anyone he saw in the art forums.

I checked him out and he has an account on Gaia with no posts too, so he's likely tried the same thing on there.

I got that too. He gave me all these email adresses, and I was wondering who needed that many. I was pretty sure it was spam though, so I ignored it.

Handy tip, next time someone sends you a PM which you think is suspicious, forward them to a staff member so we could take care of them quickly. :D

Haha, that guy creeped me out too! I'm glad someone mentioned it. I was naked at that time so I found the fact that he said he was inspired by my avatar to be a little suspicious. :XD

I don't get it either. I mean it's not really that annoying and doesn't really even have a point to it since there isn't even gold earning through PMs.

Yes star, that was right before the account was banned.

Just caught another account as well. Hopefully he(or she)'ll get bored soon and go away!

I can't believe whoever is doing this is being so persistent. Someone must really be bored, lol.

No clue. The logic on this one escapes me.
