Is that how relationships get started nowadays? "I want to have a relationship, here's my email. kthnxbai!"

Unfortunately for her, I don't date any spambots with such atrocious grammar. It's also amusing that it spelled 'relationship', 'appreciate', and 'communication' properly, but not 'easies ting'.

I wonder how many others got similar messages. Thankfully, it's very easy for us to delete them ourselves, but it'd be even easies ting if the forum software somehow blocked it.

It looks like there are at least 10 others, including staff like Michael Tanczos.

The spammer was already banned for other spams on the site. It looks like some of the moderator spammer-killing tools needs to be adjusted to handle profile feed messages as well.

I got one as well. Deleted it immediately, wanted to report but I couldn't find the option, and was too tired to create a thread. Do people actually reply to this stuff? I have to guess yes, otherwise they wouldn't keep doing it.. how desperate do you have to be (also, the girl in the picture looks underage *and* pregnant, though it's too small to be sure)

Servant is so popular that he gets hit on by machines too.
