Hello folks,

About 90 of you received a spammy PM from a user called "blessing" yesterday. The user has been banned and I've tried deleting the PMs.

Sorry about the spam ;)

Maybe, but I doubt it. I think those guys are very aware that doing something like spamming a gaming forum would quickly get news of said behavior spread through the game, hurting their kinship's reputation. While I do think there was some butthurt going on (rightly so or not), I doubt they would stoop to such methods to "get back at the dirty Atheists and Pagans" here. Remember, not everyone was against them in that thread.
