Hey @gore  Yes, we had a spam intrusion, but we seem to have it under control. We will keep our eye on things. 

Feel free to report any incidents.

@Noyade  Kudos for your helpful post.

Might be a good idea to add delete messages feature to the inbox or report message/user. Please pass on to IT team

[Jason]

Thanks for your feedback @zool3. I will ask the team to take a look at how the inbox could be improved. You can delete the message after you open it - the delete button is next to the reply button. Please note there is no problem with viewing the message, but do not click on the link contained in the message.

Thanks again,

Jason
