Re: 4 PM's not spam, but not for me
Not spam. Just a small user error which accidentally sent a PM to every member rather than one specific person. And then those with the preference set also received an email... and more emails when some replied to the original PM.
It wasn't malicious and it wasn't a hack. Its just an embarrassing mishap.
Shouldn't allow a feature to contact every member.
The feature is there for legitimate admin purposes, but it shouldn't have been accessible to ordinary forum members. None of us realised it was accessible, and it is being investigated and will be fixed.
So, apologies for the inconvenience. It will be fixed as soon as possible, but there may be some echoes through the weekend as others find and report it!

I'm getting them as well. Nice to feel wanted by such luminaries, but can't offer much on the subject in question I'm afraid

I only got the original four emails. Now I'm feeling unloved

I had to Google this and I learned what Hanlon's Razor is today.
A most excellent and useful concept, thank you!
Just goes to show that out of every disaster comes a learning opportunity.
Still a bit baffled as to how it's accidentally possible to click on 'Create New Private Message" and then add both lists of all 'Registered Members' and all 'Moderators' into the recipient field and then click 'Send'. But hey, my Mac updates itself overnight even when switched off these days so who knows what kind of mischief our machines get up to when we're asleep.
