Cheeky Monkey Dating sees its first spam

It had to happen. I just didn't think it would happen this soon.

One of our members (and at this time we only have 12) has decided to send spam to most of the other members here.

I am taking the following action to combat this problem:

1. Immediate action: A warning has been added to the top of ALL mail pages, advising about email spam, and scams in general.

2. What I'm working on: I'm adding a system that allows system-wide blocking of mail sending to users that have spammed others. A link will be added to allow you to report spam. I will then see the mail, and I'll be able to block that user from sending further mail. Existing mail will stand.

As it's quite easy to add, I'll take this opportunity to add a way to allow individuals to block mail from others.

I think the best way for it to work will be as follows. If you send mail to somebody who has been blocked, they will be able to reply to you. You'll be able to block that user again later, if you wish.
