I haven't gotten any Spam private messages on Guru, but I get tons of spam whispers in game from random people. Saying all kinds of weird things...

The guy calling you an ass wasn't a spammer, he was just mean.

I've had things like "cheap GW gold come to blah blah now" that looked like an automated system spamming it, so it's not unknown. Just do what Inde says and report them.

Me too! He couldn't give me a single example either. I consider myself to be one of the more neutral less caustic people out here too!

Prime example of why I'm on DnD 97% of the time. That 3% is for when I know people are going to be contacting me for auctions, missions, runs, etc etc.

I don't know if this is what you mean but I've seen people 'plan'this in-game. They'll say "PM (insert name here) he's giving the first 5 people 10k!!!"

Totally immature, totally annoying.
