Lots of spam problem tracker

Good to see the spammers realized they're a problem and at least posted their crap in the right place: http://www.gamedev.net/tracker/project-1-gamedevnet-articles/

Not that it really bothers me or anything.. ;)
But there's a month worth of spam in there now, and it doesn't seem to contain a single legitimate thread. I think you might as well close the forum completely or at least remove the link to it in the main menu.

Geri please use the Report button found at the bottom of each PM message so we can see the user details of the person who sent the message. There's no account tied to the email used in the PM

I get these pretty regularly via email, so it may not be possible to report a PM directly...

Good point. Still, it's just a notification the actual PM is still in your Inbox on the site might as well just open it and click report than visit the forums and post about it. Although, I don't mind if someone chooses the latter so long as they provide us the info needed to do something about it
This user has been banned now, BTW

No, I mean I get an actual email with that same text. Not a PM notification - I guess the same spam bot is harvesting email addresses from profiles.

I just reported another PM, as well.
