    Another spammer has penetrated the forums. The user account is still active and unbanned.

    @ZOS_MichelleA‌ (invited that user) or any other ZOS staff member, can you please ban him/her :)

    @knightangle just now. This has to stop, loosing patience really fast here ZoS.

    Really need to add a report icon to the forum messages, also, make it so fresh accounts (rank 1) can't pm for the love of God!

    Zenimax - I know I asked before, but could you please please consider silently turning off the PM functionality again until this is under control? The spammers are in 24x7 now, picking 50 usernames at a time. The emails users get by default come from "community@elderscrollsonline.com" and even include the Zenimax signature. It is totally unprofessional.

    Received notifications on 18 May from rewkjkriotr and on this morning, 20 May, from laotangke.

    ZOS, please check your notification system. The notification from this morning was mailed to my email, which should not have happened. I have never had the option to be emailed for PMs or notifications turned on. The only notifications I had on were: "Notify me when people comment on my discussions." and "Notify me when people comment on my bookmarked discussions."
