I note that one member has complained in posts about receiving "nasty" PMs.
I would have thought that sending trackable offensive internal mail was a good way of getting yourself booted off the forum.


Anyone else had a problem with this kind of thing.

yes, James R sends me nasty PMs.

yes, I've sent many nasty PMs to TDI.

Yes, it's against forum rules. And it could lead to instant ban without warnings or infractions.

In fact some additional things that currently belong to "Unwritten rules" category will be added to Forum Rules, including PM abuse violation.

If you know the person sending you the PM is hateful/annoying, then why open it? I don't open all the junk mail I get at home. It goes straight to the garbage. Doesn't PM stand for Private Message?
When does it become micro-management?

You are talking from experience now! Why be annoying then and just stop sending them pms.:confused:

that you have no self control. Seriously! Quit opening these!

:roflmao:

I thought I had. Miss them that much??
I mean, the date on it says 'today' but that is incorrect. How long ago was that? And as you can plainly see, I start it by saying YOU'RE RIGHT and I'M SORRY.

i have had a few nasty pm's but the way i look at is, if they are picking on me they are leaving some other poor basterd alone!

anyway like my friend said to me a while ago "i am such a nice person, that if anyone has got a problem with me, then its they're problem"

Yes, it's against forum rules. And it could lead to instant ban without warnings or infractions.


oh don't ban James R. I'm sure he meant well.

No one has ever sent me a nasty PM. I have never sent a nasty PM. I'm just too boring for any of that I suppose. If it is a problem, it isn't one that effects me.

You're going to write down the Unwritten Rules?? That's sacriledge. And you can't do it in the War Room.

yeah, next thing you know there is a rule against being a cunt! imagine that. Half the people will be banned.

Yeah but that would be an unwritten rule because, surely, you can't say cunt?

Dear spuriousmonkey,

*************************8************************ *****

You have received an infraction for: Being a Cunt.

This is against the Unwritted Sciforums Rules which Plazma is writing down, making them the Written Sciforums rules.

This infraction is worth two points to your total Douchebag score. Serious infractions - like being a Cunt or Douchebag - never expire, because you never stop being one.

Your friend,

I don't know. There used to be an unwritten rule that you can.

OK, us ADULTS get told to take it to PM to argue things out because not only can it derail threads, but it is in front of everyone (some of whom are children)
So we do. Now we may be punished for a PM that is not in front of anyone, is not in front of kids, and is where we were told to take it in the first place.

If someone is gonna get in trouble for a PM, why take it there in the first place? Why not say it all in a thread? How much babysitting to Mods really want to do?
They already have to deal with 'you wrote me up, but you didn't write him up, you're so mean'
Now its gonna be "Mom! He's picking on me! He stuck his tongue out on me. He called me a name where no one else heard it"

If you want more rules, then ok. But more rules mean more whining.

Nickelodeon is a children.

Idiotic smelly Orleander is right.

I get alot of nasty PMs, but it's rarely problematic.

Hey redArmy,

thank you for the Pm btw

i dotn think it is Buffalo, he is a real decent guy and i have conversed with him laods through PM, he has etiquette and manners. i cant speak for Baron Von maximus though as i dont receive Pm's from him.

~~~~~~
take it ez

Actually no, they are always pleasant by PM. Mostly it's people that object to an infraction.

Is it James R?

Baron, sends me the most amusing PMs :D

Like this:

Too bad you cannot ban reality from your existence, dear.
You don't have the power, nor the authority, to banish the facts that make you a weak litle bitch out to preserve her safety nets and her delusional sense of harmony and peace.

Truth is you aren't any smarter than a nigger...and that is why you defend him so vehemently.

Like this:

Hye spidey thank you for this.

Chewing gum likes Satyr and was moaning about the Amazing one was he not the one who was calling the Amazing one brown cow!!! he appears to be quite angruy within himself there..

lets hope the Pm was for your benefit i.e. he wa just saying those things to wind you up..

No one has ever sent me a nasty PM. I have never sent a nasty PM. I'm just too boring for any of that I suppose. If it is a problem, it isn't one that effects me.

Ditto :shrug:

Like this:

jesus christ man...is that all?

You should see the ones I get from my 'friends'. They spill semen over your example.

what exactly is nasty? Is this nasty :blbl: ?

There are worse ones, but I don't want to dredge up the past.

Come on, dredge.

yeah, we insist.

We need filth to wallow in.

Your friend,

I just lol'd the crap out of myself

Heh.

Seriously, I'm having a bit of mod harassment recently - Tiassa.

You lucky devil.

I know. He comes across as a teenager, but without the keen sense of personal fallibility.

Well you handled it in a grown up way. By editing his wiki entry.

I have only my role models to thank, Nick.

Tell you what: try the "Disagreeing with Dan" thread.

Holy shit!!

:eek: I know! It's terrible! OMG!

Actually, I'm surprised you didnt fall asleep. that is one boring thread.

OK f this I'm gone.

Moved to the cess pool.
:confused:

Cos it stinks.

There are worse ones, but I don't want to dredge up the past.

Please do.

Cos it stinks.

Perhaps so.
But why would a moderator move a post about bullying to the cess pool.
Incredible.

I can see that there are a few posts with swear words.
They are actually the funniest thing so far in this thread
but I can see why they would be against forum rules.

A little moderation with little squiggly marks would have done the job
if the moderator did not want to delete them.

What's going on here?

wow, who moved it here?

A few threads have been dropped in here. I blame whim based moderation.

Revolution!

A few threads have been dropped in here. I blame whim based moderation.

It's a good place to put discussions that you don't wish to be discussed.

Maybe it was seen as a criticism of Sciforums
and perhaps I should "move elsewhere" for raising it.
That seems to be a stock response.
Oh, another possibility,
I might be "Whinging."



I haven't noticed the moderator who moved it
giving any input as to why the possibility of people being bullied
is S**T that needs to be deposited in a cesspit.

This site... is fuckin fabulous, compared to the other sites i've been on... even the PM. I used to get some wierd fucking shit from strangers..

lol will that guy learn to stop saying c*nt he keeps geting infractions for it lol

This site... is fuckin fabulous, compared to the other sites i've been on... even the PM. I used to get some wierd fucking shit from strangers..

Granted, one of the good things about this site is that it protects people who would not get much of a voice elsewhere.
If you read my OP, you will see that I am surprised that anyone was having a problem with pms, and I asked if anyone else was having any difficulties.

If anyone is, what are the chances of them posting a reply when the discussion has been moved to the cess pool?

True.

Funnily enough, which is also conversely related to this very topic, is the ''choice'' at any given time for a work to be put into the Cesspool. Whilst this ''dregs of the dregs'' place is to avoid attraction, the Moderators still, strangely enough, moderate this place as much as an of the other threads... so were exactly does the Cesspool stand?

I still want to know when they are going to start moderating PMs.

Then it kinda takes out the P of the M though doesn't it?????

the way i look at it is, if i get a PM that is nasty and i do at times then to me those people could be, romainian midgets, with one leg, and a zimmer frame and also be a trapeze artist and then delete them.

yep. But you know how some people are. :rolleyes:

if you get PMs from a person you don't like over and over, why even open it? Wouldn't that be like opening junk mail?

its funny! because if tehy're picking on me then they are leaving some other poor basterd alone

But what if i wanted to have some PM sexing with someone??? You know, a bit like sex talk over the phone, but PM'ing it?

its funny! ...

Yep, it is. I think everyone has gotten a PM they thought was hateful. delete it and move on with your life. Why would you give someone else that kind of power over you??
You would be going from the annoyer having the power over your PMs to giving the mod power over your PMs.

I have never gotten a HATEFUL pm since I got here....just some childish ones! :bugeye:

I haven't gotten any hateful PM's, not even unpleasant ones.. ever. :shrug:

I just received a curt PM from James R saying that he was gifting me an infraction for the crime of welcoming SpuriousMonkey back from his banning.

Lol... i was joking (OBVIOUSLY DUH)

Lord Hillyer... are you joking?

I just received a curt PM from James R saying that he was gifting me an infraction for the crime of welcoming SpuriousMonkey back from his banning.

Lordy, lordy, you made the mistake of being courteous in a conventional style.

You probably should have said something like " I bare my arse to ya Monkeybreath in a show of communal primately, brotherly affection, don't be put off by my lack of distended genitalia; the spoof spoofer is commanded to throw his shit at the ogling crowd and resume his rightful place as the silverback defecator we all grudgingly respect!"

....or some shit like that, monkeyman would get it, and strangely, so would James R

Lol
