Spam in Visitor Messages

Did anyone else get Spam in their Visitor Messages last night or today?

I got something about christianlouboutin shoes. A bunch of links.

Nope.

If this is the spam from louboutins0806, it's been reported, and that spammer has been booted. Can non-moderators see an option to delete your own visitor messages?

I think I can delete it. I'll go try.

Yes, members can delete visitor's message in their own profile.

I tried but it wouldn't go away.

All it says is Report at the bottom of the post. It doesn't say Edit.

Check the box next to the message, then go to the option box at the bottom where it says Delete.

This time it worked! I had done those things but I didn't know there is another little box that pops up and you have to press Delete there, too.

Thank you!

Not that you can use the Privacy settings in your User CP to control who can post Visitor Messages.
