Private Messages Disabled

[Corey]

I have disabled private messages until we can put some restrictions on them due to the recent PM spam.

Thanks Corey. I never got any PMs, but it sure is helping keep the people PMing bad pictures out

[Kansy]

Yes... I suffered it xDDDD


And the image... If they do spam they could do it well.. not that ()/&%$·$

But then they will be also banned...

Hey Corey, isn't there a way in vBulletin that you can restrict the PM abilities of users until they reach * amount of posts, or some feature/mod that will only allow them to PM the admins and moderators until they reach a certain post count?

I have never had any problem

Yes, we'll probably install this mod.
We'll update this thread later with more information.

I plan on coding my own PM system sometimes in the future using php and mysql (it is for a firefox extension, so I can't use any pre-written ones). I understand that you may not be able to reveal too much for security reasons, but I was wondering if you can tell us whether or not this was a SQL-injection attack? Once it is fixed, would you be able to tell us how it was done?

One of my main concerns with the system is that I will overlook some injection approach, so I keep an eye out for things like this to make sure I can prevent it.

Thanks Corey. I appreciate that bc I just got my very first PM which I deleted like about an hour ago bc of the poirnograghic subjuct matter.
