Do you remember that troll a while ago who was saying how 'she' was looking for someone, IMing and/or PMing any of the male members? I do hope it's not 'her'...

I take it that's in both senses. And in the case of one of them, joy </sarcasm>.

I got it and didn't care. I don't understand why people would make a big deal out of it if they know it's fake. I guess they don't want anyone falling for it so they had to alert the mods.

I got that yesterday as well. Had a conclave with the other mods, he/she's banned (miriam) - no worries.

Its principle. Most people would ignore it but, letting it go as harmless is opening the door for more attempts, maybe some less feeble and maybe some finding a vulnerable member who clicks the email, finds out that she's in urgent need of money, and sends him/her half of their life savings.
