Apostropartheid is on a distinguished road
I banned the user; could the OP remove the message from his post?

Excellent advice. If only there were a "report this PM" or "flag as spam" button in the PM section. I get spammed on here all the time (or at least sent messages by users with 0 posts).

That will be an option when I update CF to the newest version of vBulletin in a few weeks.
