Harrassing/spam PMs

Am I the only person getting tons of bizarre/harrassing/spam PMs from users with names like lavenderpony, sky blue pony, [insert color here] pony?

It's actually ridiculous, on the order of 10-20 messages over the course of a few minutes. And I can't block because whoever it is keeps signing up with a new username.

Funny you say this....actually had something like this last week. Someone was having a bizarre conversation (seemingly with themselves?) and it showed up as 20 messages in my inbox too

Yeah this is exactly whats happening to me. Except I keep blocking and it keeps returning under a different username. So reporting/blocking is useless. Very very very very annoying.

Same. Would be from like PurplePony, then MajentaPony, then PinkPony and would never stop annoying me. Just sent random words / messages. I reported them all but every now and then they start happening again.
