I just saw that another one arrived at 11:01 pm. This is a brand new email address created on October 9th especially for here.  Renderosity no longer as the ability to send emails from the site and I have not used it to send emails at all.

Based on that I would say that it's pretty conclusive that there is a problem with this site and spammers  are being able to pick up email address "somehow".

**To review:

**1)  I do subscribe to the newsletter
2)  I do subscribe to gallery comments
3)  I do not subscribe to forum threads (occasionally forget to uncheck the box)
4)  I do not subscribe  to notification of gallery uploads

5. I do not subscribe to PM notification

October 9:

New gmail email address created on October 9 specifically for use on this site

*Between October 9 and 11, I received the following from Renderosity:

4 ebots about gallery comments;
1 ebot indicating someone "favourited" me;
Confirmation for an MP purchase;
1 newsletter.

*Between October 12 and October 17:

I forgot to uncheck the "subscribe to thread" box and received a couple ebot notifications about replies to a thread.

Received a few notifications about wish list items on sale.

Between October 18 and 19:

I uploaded an image to my gallery on October 18. During the period of October 18 and 19, I received 15 ebot notifcations of gallery comments.

1 newsletter

Between October 20 and 22:

Ebot notification received that someone "favourited" me

About 6 spam emails to my outlook express address, but the properties did not show my gmail address or that the email had been forwarded, and the outlook address was my ISP domain but the "to" portion was not my "handle"

Here is the latest email spam that I received to my Renderosity exclusive email.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
