We would all like to apologise for the recent spam outbreak which has meant many members have recieved Personal Messages offering drug treatments. This was obviously unacceptable and we have taken the following measures to resolve this incident.

  • ALL THE PMs Sent from that member have been deleted from everyone's PM box with immediate effect.
  • ALL unverified users and users awaiting verification have been removed of their priveledges of PMing this is a temporary measure untill we can find out how this happened.
  • The User has been Banned from the site
  • The User has been reported to their ISP and their IP address has been blacklisted on our server
We do hope that this does not happen again but please use common sense when reading PMs and Emails, if its offering you something which you have not asked for then please do not click any links. Any links to sites outside of our network we have no control over. We recommend you have sufficient anti-virus and firewall software installed on your PC's.

Regards,

The ibpArcade Downloads Admin Team

My access to the arcade has been suspended. It says my IP address has been suspended from the arcades. It there anyway I can have this lifted. I have not sent any spam or emails to anyone. I have obeyed all board rules. I enjoy this site and have been a member for a long time.

I have checked the arcade ban list and cannot see any bans for your IP address, can you please try again and let me know how you go
Please do NOT PM staff members unless asked to or the matter is of a sensitive nature and cannot be displayed in the forums
