Is there a new security procedure on private message? I just sent one to a friend and got one those weird notifications that certain key things were said that caused them to require that I type two words in to prove I'm not a bot.

Was it just a one-time plethora of links or is this part of a new system?

The mistake you made was to say that you had read the member's profile and wanted to get to know them, race, religion or their gender being no impairment to your love and for them and that they should send an email in reply to your Yahoo email address. :P

Only joking. Maybe Alex is tightening up on the keywords? I've pretty much managed to block the IPs of most of the PM love scammers so they are less of a problem nowadays.
