I recently received a PM from 'profilicus' directing me to an online drugstore selling viagra and cialis.
WTF?
The PM read "Important to read."

Same thing here. I was unsure of where to report it though.
0 posts. It's most definitely a bot of some sort. The topic of the PM was 'Forum Administration'

Yeah, that is pretty lame. I've disabled PMs for now.

I got this too. Noticed that the link url was unfamiliar. Checked sender's profile. Noticed that sender had zero posts. Bullshit detector went off. Didn't click link.
Viagra huh? How disappointing. I was hoping for at least a virus.

My Mom and Dad work for the government, this is a known credit card scam. This kind of thing happens often on forums, although someone had to have made the account. This person should be IP banned.

Nobody can delete a forum except the hoster. Administrators can only modify the contents.

But usually the Admins ARE the hosters. It's kinda cofuzling if you never checked it out before.

If the admin buys the domain, then yes, he is a hoster. Usually with forums, people use sites like InvisionFree and FreeForums and phpBB, in which case, the companies are the hosters.
