Question

[Yuri Zhivago]

How do I stop posters from sending spam to my private mail box?

 

[Jen]

At the moment there is no way to stop that from happening. But the moderators are aware of the issue and will take steps to deal with it as it becomes necessary. Thank you for bringing it to our attention here. I appreciate it. Please just bear with us on this.

I think your only option now is to choose to receive mail only from "friends" and/or "contacts". Of course that excludes everyone else.

 

[Jen]

That is an option. Thanks........ I usually think of that one first but for some reason didn't think of it this time. Arrrghhh.

Easy go to your settings then general settings and choose to get PM's only from friends or contacts.

I don't like this option. What if somebody not listed as my friend wants to send me something they deem important

 

[Days]

yep, that was the right answer... until you give us a better one.

no particular reason for me to post this, it is total superfluous fluff that adds nothing...

oh wait, I thought of one reason... it is Sunday, right?

then don't choose it and report the PM.

Jen, I am not a doctor, but i do not want others thinking that I am their personal psychiatrist. What I am supposed to do, to judge them?

 

[Jen]

I have no idea, Yuri. Not even a suggestion. But you have my sincere sympathy. :anon:

But if you have no friends or contacts or people who want to talk to you anyway, your just SOL.

It would seem that repeat offenders would eventually be stopped via expulsion? I don't know. I'm not a moderator.

PM abuses can be reported like any other abuse. PM access can be restricted as a result. We suggest if anyone is being abused via PM they report it.
