Getting PMs from a spambot

Just what the title said. A porny spambot just started repeatedly PMing me. Put it on ignore, but I couldn't find a report function in the PM window. Did I miss something, or is this something I'd need to report directly to a mod and/or Geth?

    The system says I have a PM but there's nothing in there.

    I think this is happening to me too. Says I have unread messages in my inbox but see none.

    Yeah. I just went and cleaned out all my messages to see if it was a bug, but I think I got hit with the same thing.

    My guess is that the mods found/deleted it at this point.

    For future reference, since it sounds like the PMs already got nuked, the correct way to report a PM is to add a mod to the discussion. This came up in the past, and that is what we were told to do.

    What could he have been thinking of when he shot his best friend? What in God's name can he be thinking of now?

    Maybe this is a dumb question but is there any way to get rid of this notification now?

    It should go away in a few days. If it hasn't gone away in a week, check back here.

    For the record, I was able to get the notification to go away by opening a previous conversation.
