Yes. From a poster by the name of JenniferGuerra1996 or something similar.

On Feb 8, I got the following DM from "guest" StephanieStewart1998:

**** Me here: **CENSORED**

Thankfully C-D's programming censored it. I couldn't figure out a way to report it.

What would a real human being gain by programming these "bots"? Who would pay to disgust CD posters?

It seems to be a bot rather than a real person or persons, with names and messages churned out automatically, and the foul messages likely originate outside the U.S. No idea why C-D got selected!

The mods are aware and working on it, so let them know, or just block, delete and ignore.

Are you serious?

Disgusting CD posters is not the goal here. It's to get you to click on a porn site that might put malware or spyware on your computer. Or to fall in love with some Russian girl and bring her into the country if you're dumb enough to fall for it.

Got one yesterday as well. Forwarded copy to moderator, then deleted.

And, at this point, every single one that I go into ban now says invalid username. Which means they’re catching them before I can. That’s a really good sign.
