Suggestion, I guess

[nygold]

Someone under the name (symbiosis) sent me some wacky private message
I don't know what it means and I don't care but it was accompanied by a URL link. Now I'm scared to death to open any crazy unknown link, I guess I have a virus phobia. It seems like some religious message of some sort.
Here is the message.
Hey,
I'm new here, how's it going?

"The most fundamental harm we can do to ourselves is to remain ignorant by not having the courage and the respect to look at ourselves honestly and gently" - Pema Chodron


Can we give this guy the boot just for the creap factor?

I bammed the person already.

Cool Fred.

Thanks for the quick response.

Yes, Thanks Fred... I too received this message . It seemed a bit strange coming from someone who recently joined but had no other posts or hobby information as well as having an outside URL with no other information. Too much like spam or a phish so I didn't dare follow it. I think many people also got the message.

There has been some discussion in other threads about some minimal level of posting or information to prevent this from happening, sort of a required introduction post to make sure the person is on the level. It's unfortunate that that sort of thing has to be done, but thats the world we live in.
Cheers
