Exclamation User found spamming our community - Actions taken
All,

Tonight, I became aware of one of our users who was spamming our community via private messages. An excerpt is provided below:

Quote:
Hi,I'm new here, how's it going?"Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: it transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural & spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things as a meaningful unity" - Albert Einstein---Stephanie (link removed)
First - I apologize to anyone who was affected. We have a very strict policy and as a result that user has been permanently banned.

Should you ever receive unsolicited spam from other members of the community, please let me know.

Thanks again for your patience.

--Chris
