Maali534 is actually a bot, or a really really strange guy who sends private messages to other users promoting strange links (I'm sure I'm not the only one who received it) and posts in EVERY thread his messages that are composed by 1 word like: "appealing" .
Wtb ban pls no bot(s) on our forum!!! :D

Thanks for the 'heads up' Kranith. I suspect everyone has been sent the same PM - please don't open it. Admin have been notified and asked to delete the offending account. I've closed this thread now to avoid the inevitable 'Yep, I got it too' replies! Well spotted - you fellas are our 'eyes and ears'.

Update: I discovered that I could close the account, remove its posts and ban the user (such power!). All now done. I've asked admin if they can delete all the unwanted PMs....if not, then members can simply open the message and delete it immediately. I would not advise clicking on any links within it - just consign it to the bin where it belongs. Fortunately, we don't seem to get too much of this rubbish.
