Thanks for reporting it. He's gone!

I'm not sure how to remove his PMs from people who my have received them though. But at least he won't be sending more.

Was the PM from back when this was originally reported? Or a new one? If the latter can you please use the report function in the PM so I can see it, or at least please give me the name of the sender. The original guy should be permanently banned already. Thanks :)
