If you receive PM's of this sort, just report them and staff will deal with senders.
Harassing is prohibited on Anime-Sharing.

True indeed, but the actual issue is they multiply like cockroaches of new accounts.
I assume they might even using a different IP for each and keep bugging the others.

I reported those PM. Will mods still see my reports after I delete them from my inbox?

Apparently, it has been spread from "PM only" to "Visitor Messages".
Perhaps, someone intently attacked this forum, it's probably safe to assume they're using several bots doing so.

People will now need ten posts to send PMs/VMs. This seems to be the work of a single person targetting a small subset of our members, but to stem further abuse limiting who can send PMs/VMs is nevertheless a good idea.

Thanks for the hard work, it's looking good for now,
let's try waiting for a few days and see how things will be before closing the case.

The bots are back. This time they flood the download section every minute until they reach required post number before sending PM/VM.

I don't know if this is related or not but is this somehow causing google to mark this site as malware? I've had a lot of trouble trying to get into the site even if I turn off 'protect bla bla' in chrome settings

This related to your location most likely. Since i never had this happened.
There's attachment problem with google but that's about it.
