Thank you. We have received similar reports and the originator has had privileges removed which should prevent repeat orgnotes from this source..

Now I'm being flooded with orgnotes (more than 10 in a row) from someone called [Just orgnote a mod with their name and copies of orgnotes snip. Do not post their user name here. - luv4u]

Some of the titles (I didn't bother reading the contents) were in Russian.

I received 5 orgnotes from someone trying to sell things. They were all from the same person and one of them was in another language with strange characters for letters. When I clicked on the user profile, nothing came up so maybe you already caught the person.

I opened one. hope that wasn't a mistake. not that bothered anyway on a work computer. I've seen shit like this before on other forums. Seems like it's an annoyance more than anything. Fucking commie bots!
