So that explains why I haven't ever got one. I felt left out, but it must be that my online status is hidden. So if DRP hides online status unless ADM access, then the spam PMs would stop? and since there is only the default theme, it is just one or two simple lines of code to to do this...off hand I don't remember where to add it to smf, but if it eases the pain of spam, it would be worth it.
turns out no code is needed this is OOB functionality
Admin control panel > Permissions > Select the user group which you want to restrict from viewing who is online > modify > Use basic forum functionality > Uncheck View Who's Online.
