Blocking Private Messages?

[Patrick]

Since Jack Bucks will never serve any purpose, now or ever (you have no intention whatsoever of fixing the Shop Now link - you know it; we know it), how about doing something useful?

I'm getting harassing private messages from someone on this board because I committed the unspeakable crime of disagreeing with him. How about coming up with a way to block private messages from certain posters, please?

i hope youre not talking to dave!! he doesnt actually do anything but mouth platitudes.

 

[BitterPill]

Did you try putting the annoying person on ignore?

 

[gabriel]

i doubt that works for pm's. and then we wouldnt be able to marvel at their inane posts! kinda takes the fun outta things , what? how about you knock lightly on your lord and masters door and tell him to get his ass outta bed

Patrick, we're working on this. Try BD suggestion of putting offender(s) on ignore for time being.

 

[gabriel]

we?? you actually FOUND little davy? or is his pal sissyroe handling this one?? hahahahahahahahaah

With all due respect, I don't mind reading his posts...since they at least somewhat observe decorum and the rules of the forum. However, his private messages aren't so benign, and I'd just as soon not see them at all.

so just click "empty folder" if u see a message appear.

Patrick, click on "settings" at the top right of your screen. Then go to the list on the left and find "general settings". Click on that and scroll down to the PM controls and set them to "moderators and contacts only". You can add to your friends list the people you want to be your contacts. That should help if you are being PM'ed by someone you don't want to hear from.

tell dave to get outta bed and post this in the relevant forum

In your settings add them to your ignore list & they NO longer will be able to send you PM's.


Now tell me who it was ?????

Um...Bo....that doesn't work for PMs (duh).

You need guidance from some of the more seasoned mods, obviously....lol.

That explains why I never get nasty PM's. Mine has always been set that way. So take notice, those who want to send nasty PM's! )

 

[Jen]

I think nasty PM's are rare. But once in a while they do happen. Mine is open to all.

I got one too. Blocking them isn't enough. I tried to forward it to Chris and Dave but it wouldn't go through for some reason. Maybe we're all blocked from sending PMs to the Administrators now. The perpetrator needs to be banned or restricted to Crossfire. Blocking the perp doesn't hold him accountable for his actions.

 

[Lapcat]

Ooooh! Such a strict disciplinarian!

Unless, of course, it involves one of your leftie peeps.

Hypocrite much?

Oh give it a rest.

But we can't PM anybody now anyway, can we ? This is just plain daft ...

 

[Queen Titania]

Actually, I don't know about any one else but I'm beginning to get fed up with all this nonsense. It is never ending. If I didn't have good friends here I think I would just bugger off .............it is all so petty.

Was it really necessary to block PMs before talking to the ones who had over stepped the mark ?

They just went a bit ott. I don't see it as any big deal, just ask them not to do it again and give us all bak out PMs or not .................we didn't have them on Fray and we survived ? Oh well it was a nice addition whilst it lasted
