Has anyone else received spam in your DM (direct message) from a new city-data member? No posts by this new user - just sending spam via DM.


How and to whom do I report it if this user has not made any posts in city data?

As a short term-measure, you could block this user from DM'ing you.

I would also go to the Administration Zone and ask. You may be told to report to a senior moderator named Yac or Marka. https://www.city-data.com/forum/about-forum/

Thanks for the link. It appears I am not the only one to have received this spam. I have send Marka a DM with the name of the offending account.
