Hello staff,
It would be helpful if you could add a "report abuse" link for PM's. There are ways to report them now, but most user cannot easily figure out what the options are. It would be great to add a link right there in the PM inbox.
See : https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/staff_spam_account_theres_no_way_to_report
and Gabe's and Dan's replies in this thread. https://getsatisfaction.com/imdb/topics/posting_of_419_lottery_scam_on_boards_and_in_private_message...
It's confusing for users to figure out how to go about this, even with the "report a problem" category here in GS.
It should be an easy add to allow the "this user sent me an abusive PM" link to the PM system itself.
Thanks for your consideration!

This user just sent me a spam PM with a link to a bit torrent web site. Since this user has not posted on message boards, it is not possible to report this user via the "report abuse" button available on the message boards. Currently I can only report this abuse on Get Satisfaction of the IMDb help desk.
In addition to bluesmanSF's suggestion, I recommend that new users not be allowed to send PMs until they've posted to the message board. It may also be a good idea simply delay PMs from a new account for a specified period, such as a week.
