just 10? Wow, you lucky bastard :P
I received quite a lot more.

From time to time I report the senders (though I know it is kind of useless).

The whole signup system and such is fu*ked up, major spam heaven over there.
Unfortunatly I can't close my account since it is linked to Translators/Testers interface.

The anti-spam features are poor. During beta this was pointed out (those with beta access: for example here and here). If anything changed as a result of those reports is unclear, but spam clearly still is an issue.
The privacy issues were handled though. Before it was quite easy to see and get someone's email address. At least that has been fixed (luckally). The rest... welll.... probably never? :p

Because I still approve the skins/scripts/etc submissions I do have mod access on msgplus.net. When I see spam (mainly PMs) I ban them. But there doesn't seem to be a limit on how much PMs a user can send, making it ieasy for a spammer to do a lot of damage before he is caught, if an admin catches on to it at all. There is a report link on the msgplus.net PMs, but I don't know where those reports end up / or if anyone if monitoring those at all.
I don't think so, even though I report those spammers from time to time, most accounts are still listed as being 'active'....
