I am receiving suspicious messages - what should I do?

Sometimes messages are sent that are not intended for personal contact, but are intended to advertise other sites and services - this is better known as spam.

Although we use technical methods to stop so-called spammers as quickly as possible, some are able to post messages before they are blocked.

Please do not react to these messages and do not click the links (often very short links such as bit.ly, tinyurl or cutt.us), because you could otherwise land on pages you did not want to visit on your own.

You can report these messages to our support (just click on "report" next to the message) and a possible blocking of the spammers profile will be taken care of.

Important: Please avoid sending the text of the spam message as a warning to other members, as it may cause our spam filter to recognize your message as spam and you will automatically also be blocked!
