Any account holder can turn off PMs for their account.

I and the other mods remove spam in the forum whenever we find it (nixed 
two accounts just today), but we can't access your PMs.

In recent months the number of spambots has dropped significantly, but 
if this becomes any sort of rampant problem we can review the 
possibility of shutting down the PM system altogether.  We re-opened it 
by user request, though, so I'd be reluctant to do this unless it were 
absolutely necessary.
