If someone asks you to not contact them via a private message, please don't. Continuing to do is harassment.
I will hand out 5 day suspensions for people who violate this request from users.
Is this actually going to be enforced? I keep reporting unwanted PMs to no avail.
I require a time stamped PM replying to the person you wish to stop sending you notes. This can be accomplished by cc'ing me either on a reply PM, or on an original PM to the user stating your desire to not be contacted.
Without this, I have no evidence of the original request being made to the user.
Thanks for that, Matt. I've shut off my PMs to prevent the harassment from continuing.
Top_Dawg still giggles about stern PMs from DBA.
Seems like an excellent way to save admin a lot of hassle.
Is this still a thing? I've asked a certain individual to stop PMing me, and they are persisting. I still wish to receive PMs from others, so I'm not about to turn off the PM feature.
There is tbat saying Med... sticks an stones. If you see tneir names.dont read it and erase it. Done.
To the mass: if people dont want personal messaging from you, you dont do it. Dont be obssess and dont be desperate.
It can take a bit for Admin to take any action.
Or the harassers can simply respect the wishes of the other party & cease their harassment?
Childest behavior has no place anywhere for adults in the forum or behind the forum. We all make mistakes in the heat of the moment, but, if we are alduts, we must act in accordance to that standard. Why? We have lived enough years to know better.
Not everyone grows up, not everyone is raised to the same standards of behaviour, not everyone accepts the standard social norms of behaviour, not everyone is capable of behaving according to those norms. So tolerance is required. Tolerance is what our modern society expects of those capable of understanding that not everyone is 'average' and everyone's differences are just that.
I concur to some point. Life experience is also valuable if you accept it. We have brains don't we? That brain must be use if we want to progress.
