It appears that quite a few of us received requests for selvages.
I was trying to relocate that in my PMs, but have been unable to find it.

I was wondering if this person may have been conducting some kind of experiment with us as the guinea pigs?

That person sent identical PM by doing copy/paste to 227 people. So I locked her account.

I also got a request for selveges and like you, it has disappeared from my PM box. When she was blocked, it must have deleted all messages to/from her.

How do you figure that out?

I checked the database, and then checked the web server logs.
She would open a thread, and then keep going to a user profile after profile sending PMs. Then she would move on to another thread and PM everyone there. And so on.

Thanks for taking care of that Admin. :)

Wonder if anyone responded.

I have two baggies full of boring selvages that I was thinking about sending to her, but these don't have the cute little circles on them.

Admin, I think this bears notation from you on the main so all memebers will be advised without having to 'chance upon' one of the posts discussing it.
Maybe you would lock it at the top for awhile. It might deter abuse which deprives our members in need.
