Request a feature to report unsolicited PMs

I think this is a bot that send this message to my PM inbox here on MyLot. I can delete the message and move on but it would be nice if we can report such bot more quickly by providing a report button somewhere on the chat box, that way we can prevent the bot from spamming everyone's inbox. Just a thought.

I'm not involved in any of the programming side but I understand that adding a report button to the private messaging nodule is too complex to do at present (in other words, it's not impossible but would take more time and resources than the benefit would merit). Please simply send the username and a brief description of the spammy message to me in a PM and I will deal appropriately with the user ASAHP.

@goaskalice thanks for your concern sir, Its fine if we can disable the feature. Here everything as public is fine, no private contact required from my side. If I need the feature then I can change it myself from setting option .

@SHOHANA Well, if they're annoying then disabling your pm feature is an option.

I'm not sure completely disable the pm feature is a good idea.

Yeah, it does look like a bot or spam. I hope you've reported it to admin so it stops.

It's nothing really, I've been dealing with spammers my whole life, helping several forums' admins/mods getting rid of them.
