How can somebody spam like this on protected forum?

It's not a protected forum, anybody can sign up for a SEOmoz account and PM members.

However, there have been lots and lots of these.

Been a while since I signed up, maybe the account confirmation procedures could be tightened up and the PM box be given a 'report spam' function?

I was surprised to see those too.
