Got this in my private messages:

Dear, Ragamuffin!

Spam sending from your computer was detected.
We highly recommend you to check your computer and perform online virus check at our site immediately: http://security-2010(deleted the rest)
If you do not pass this test  we will have to delete your account and forward a complaint to your ISP with attached log file (your IP address, etc.).

Do not click that link in your private messages unless you want to be cleaning off your system for the next several hours and changing all your passwords.  I have a Mac so I'm not affected but I wanted to forewarn everyone.

Thanks for the warning...the issue has been addressed. Please continue to raise the alert either publicly or privately to the admins and we will take care of it.

(If you have mail notification turned on, please forward all suspect messages to me at  elitebadger@gmail.com...I do an IP check and Google search before taking action on a member, but having evidence would definitely help your case).

If you don’t have freedom as a principle, you can never see a reason not to make an exception. There are constantly going to be times when for one reason or another there’s some practical convenience in making an exception.
