Annoying PM's

Shane™ · 27-01-2005 4:12pm #1

Is there anything I can do about people sending me PM's about stupid things, and generally just being an a$$hole?

koneko · 27-01-2005 4:16pm

What kind of PMs? Are they advertising something, or do you mean people PM'ing you about things you posted?

If you're getting spam, or abuse, you can report it to the admins.

Shane™ · 27-01-2005 4:19pm

Great i'm getting abuse, which Admin should I report it to?

Never had to get in touch with Admin's before

Hobbes · 27-01-2005 4:19pm

1) Tell the person to stop.

2) Put person on ignore.

3) If you are offended by it then report them to an admin.

tman · 27-01-2005 4:20pm

does putting people on ignore block PMs?
its worth a shot anyway...
go into your User Cp and then Buddy/Ignore lists

Cool thanks, I sent a hot headed PM back but he's not on-line can I get it back?

It's cool he wasn't offended, he's still flaming, i'll just block him

Thank's again

Jesus, HE gets abusive with me, ie. calling me an ass, then starts a thread about it, what the feck?

note: Just because he started a thread about it doesn't mean he's right. And especially since he was the first one to use an abusive name in a PM.

Also: i was never actually abusive to him, and as things stand, he was the only one who was abusive. I was very careful not to be abusive.

Also, i didn't bombard him with PM's- i sent him one initially then simply replied his comments- this is not unreasonable.

GRR WTF

Look, make that one (though i'm not really a newbie). If he makes a thread about it i'm going to be defending myself against the ****e he's spouting around here, don't blame me, i didn't make the thread.... but since it's here i may aswell set things straight

No, i don't think it's necessary for the attention of the mods either, but a negative attempt to get someone banned unfairly.

Feel free to ignore this thread, nothing to see here

He may not have been talking about you aphex™, he may have many special relationships with other members, maybe even a copyright symbol or a percentage sign here or there, but most likely other trademarked users.

I got a pm out of the blue telling me to **** off and die from K**ro. It really pissed me off and I have no reason why I should offend him/

BuffyBot · 27-01-2005 8:49pm

Well, someone changed an avatar..how easy was the problem to sort out..

Shane™ · 27-01-2005 8:50pm

Oh look this tread has been spammed!

OK to set things right, I never named who it was, and I called him an a$$hole, I didn't want to get banned (thought that's what he was trying to do, get me banned) so I stuck up a tread, was meant to save my ass, and get a little help.

Hobbes settled the matter straight away, thanks and to all the mods who added in there own comments, an example of leading by example?

BTW have an old account, didn't like the name so I changed, so technically not a n00b.

Doodle sketch can you define a newbie, as in how many posts

And don't say "YOU" and not "anyone who has less posts than me huh huh huh" because that would be silly

And Gandalf are you suggesting new board members should not be allowed to post! maybe we should ban all new guys, or better still close boards to all new applicants, yeah that would be cool!

Personally I think it's sad that members are judged on post count, and it shouldn't be allowed. Ah well I'm new what would I know!

Amz · 27-01-2005 9:13pm

It's to do with your join date, it's got nothing to do with number of posts.

Good grief!

I bet you have a tiny penis too.

Good newbie

(I'm actually reluctant to use newbie, because I'M a newbie. 1998 is oldskool).
Lets ban all thought of indecent things also.

Lump · 27-01-2005 9:34pm

Call me a Newbie, but what's with the TM next to the above posters names? Is it the cool thing to do? Is it like the Yellow/Blue/Pink, and the new Black and White Wrist bands? Have I been left out of the loop AGAIN?!

Ah cause of the problem, I was lookin for shane+symbol, and I came accross tm, and then off topic posts, then deleted and then pm'd and then more s***e, and then a new tread and then the tread was closed and we all lived happily ever after (except for shaneTM who got banned a week later)

This has to be the worst tread ever, sorry I said anything

spongebob · 27-01-2005 10:15pm

If any more idiot Mods show up Shane then just do what I do to them ....simply say

arrrrf arf arffffff arf

Sorry, but are you saying "thread" It must be an inside joke for all the old skoolers such as you to say "tread", cus I just plain don't get it.

billy the squid · 27-01-2005 11:09pm

If you wanted to make a genuine complaint you should have posted in the "Help" forum. you are assured of only an admin replying as they are the only ones able to reply to posts in the "help" forum.

Nah we'd miss the entertainment you noobs give us by whining about the mental anguish you have suffered because someone sent you a PM.

BuffyBot · 27-01-2005 11:42pm

Well judging from your contribution yes !

Oh and a newbie is someone who doesn't have Feb 1998 as their join date

You will always be a newbie to me

Thread locked. Anyone who made an uninformative post on here is on a last warning for being banned from Feedback (that especially means Muck).

If I get even slightly irritated by those two trademark users in the near future there will be banning.

Annoying PM's
