Re: PM messages!

Sorry mags , was just trying to show that pms on forums weren’t always wise and the restrictions here, whilst in place for spammers, give you a chance to get a ‘feel’ about someone

If you find a PM intimidating just ignore it or send it to admin and they will deal with it.
Delete pms unread if you find the sender upsetting.

Re: PM messages!

Well here’s my tuppence worth on PM’s.
I very seldom use PM’s, and mainly only to reply to someone or to wish them well if they were sick. I look upon it as a sort of emergency facility between members, the last thing I could think of would be to abuse or insult anyone through a private message, a real creeping cowards way to treat someone

I’m with Floydy here, say what you have to say up front and respect the other persons opinion even if it differs from your own, but who knows what goes on behind the scenes with PM’s.

I don’t think I ever had a filled up PM box in me life, nor do I want one either, but I suppose this thread is a good idea for those who love that extra bit of private yapping, and just like the proverbial cup, I hope your boxes are overflowing with love.
While we’re on about messages, any sign of the message board coming back? That was always handy to greet folks and send congratulations or thanks to a fellow member without using the PM system, then of course someone had to go and balls the whole thing up by abusing it.

Re: PM messages!

The thing is that the pm box is quite small and fills up very quickly .

Re: PM messages!

People can also lie about receiving abusive/intimidating PMs; I've known this to happen.

Agree with you Jem, I rarely use PMs and I miss the message board, not that I have had any tips to pass on lately!

I suppose you will always get the odd loon who lies and invents things that did not happen but I tend to judge it by the person making the claim or if these stories come from multiple sources

Re: PM messages!

When l send a message, l usually delete it straight away. I like to keep my message box at 90% and then there’s no problem.

I feel that it would be nice if some new members who are well known to long standing existing members could be recommended and given a reference so that they can be messaged straight away.

For these reasons, I would like to say, ‘Hi’ to Norway who l know and can vouch for.
Norway, l can’t send you a pm but would like to say, l hope you and your wife are keeping well.
