Within 2 hours of posting a query today I have had two personal messages NOTHING to do with the post.

Is this normal behaviour …never had it over many years enjoying the Comodo Forum

Unwarranted and most unwanted in my view filling up my inbox with unsolicited junk

Is nothing sacred from these cranks?

You have just been sent a personal message by HOLI on Welcome to the Comodo Forum.

No, this isn’t normal. Add the user HOLI to your Ignorelist in your Personal Message Options under your Profile.

I also had a similar request for assistance (duplicate files) from the same user yesterday, I recommended that they posted a new topic & I didn’t get a reply. Anybody else had PM’s from this user?

I’ll have a word with them.

PS Nobody other than Admins (maybe) can follow the links you’ve posted. :slight_smile:

I had a couple in April from username “CHHATRALIAMD” which matches the email address for HOLI. Similarly, he was asking for advice by PM.

I told him to post his issues on the forum so all could read, assist (if possible) and learn. Diagnostics in ■■■ only benefits the recipient. I haven’t heard from him since and he didn’t post under that username.

Ewen :slight_smile:

That is the same signature on the messages quoted earlier. Thank you

He’s the PM I received…

I also have received 2 messages from him and reported them with the report button.

You did? Perhaps it’s only Admins that get those, I’ll need to test that. Thanks.
