Question for everyone: What does "Acountfor7Days" mean? I'm getting that when I try to post a new topic in the forums. Is it because I just signed up today? Thanks.

Maybe you have to be a member for 7 days before you can post?

I'm guessing it's a new measure by the board owner and moderators to crack down on Spambots that occassionally attack.

I've been up for just over a week, and I'm still getting this message. I've tried contacting the MySpace people (twice), but have not received a single reply. I put up a MySpace so I can eventually set up a group to promote my upcoming novel, but if I'm unable to post on message boards, I'm probably not going to be able to do a thing!

What the heck happened?

I went into my "sent" files to track a message I sent to a friend and I found that somehow, my account sent out like 10 messages with this:


Hey everyone!

I just made an account at this FREE dating website. Its got way less pointless crap than on MySpace. Check it out, and search for me, by joining with the link below.

Hot Singles at Amateur Match

3

What the hell happened? It was not ME who sent those out!!!

It freaked me out so I changed my password.

The messages were not even to any of my friends, they were just random people.

Did you click on a link in someone else's bulletin? Did you download one of the tracker softwares?

I had one of those as well, and apparently I sent one to some blonde named Kristin who read my message.

For the record, I don't click on links or even open SPAM bulletins when I see them. There are no tracker links or codes in my profile (I just checked) and I've downloaded Flash 9.

When it comes to login redirects I tend to be cautious as well and I make sure that the login page is a real MySpace login page.

I'm not sure if it's something everyone got or if someone phished my info.

I've been afraid of that happening as well, as it appears a couple of people on my list had problems. Both had issues where dozens of bulletins were sent out under their names ("Check this link," or "Free Ringtones," etc.). I'm figuring it's a matter of time before something goes wrong with mine, although I'm not really on much lately.
