    Coloholics Private Message spam

    We've been notified that certain spam users are creating accounts to solicit members to join a very fake and rather malicious spam oriented forum, known as ColoHolics Anonymous.

    ColoHolics is not an MLP forum. They spam forums all over the internet to attempt to grab user attention with a topic of interest (in our case, ponies). I would advise everyone to avoid clicking any of the links if you receive such a PM, and to report the PM immediately so that appropriate action can be taken.

    An example of what to look for below:

    EveryPony seems pretty cool I guess, I plan to post here plenty...thought I'd refer you to a pretty cool MLP roleplaying forum that just started up with a lot of favorite characters to choose from (or you can just make an original character), it's pretty fun.
    Anyway, hope to see you both here and there, I guarantee you'll enjoy it if you give it a chance.

    Oh, dear. Seems like the entire world is out to get us, eh?
    Thanks for the heads up, Mike! We can always count on you, right?

    By default, I reject these kinds of PMs.

    if you are going to add me on xbox live or the nintendo network, be sure to tell me in my profile.

    Well I'd certainly hope you'd reject the PMs. The purpose of this is mainly that I would like them reported as they are found since these users will literally sit there and send around 100 of them to random members.

    Not just eradicating them from your inbox, but also reporting them so that a staff member can notice them and try to stop the spammer before they send out a ton of messages.
    Life is a grave and I dig it!
    Let's all agree to move away from 'T-rex arms' as the reference for tiny arms and move to the more appropriate 'Carnotaurus Arms'.
