Sort of spamming with PM's

[Okti]

Hi All,

Lately I was receiving PM's from a certain member on the forum And was ignoring it. But the tone in the PM's changed a lot. Is there a way to avoid receiving PM's from a certain member?

This is what the FAQ says about this.

Need an administrator to protect me then. Who might that one be? I am really annoyed with that one.

Ok,

Got the answer on IRC and the PM to the recomended Administrator will follow shortly.

Very sorry to hear this Okti - can I also suggest you PM the perpetrator to ask them to stop PM'ing and to tell them to stop PM'ing you. This way, they cannot say they didn't understand when action is taken against them.

A copy of the PM to any of the moderators would also be useful.

In the meantime - this is how to block the offending PMer (I used your name only as an example - I've not blocked you!)

Have already PM'd but some people insist they are superior to grown up people

OK then - Presuming you've PM'd Another_Commander as head moderator but if it doesn't stop let me know via a PM with a copy of the offending PM and I'll block that member from sending PMs if necessary.

Meanwhile, we'll be eagerly checking Wikileaks...

And one can assume the offending PM is also reading this thread and is aware of the potential sanctions...

And that was the intention. Do not like any body to get a warning or limited in a way but the way done was very childish and will hope he will be grown up in future. And my advice would be to him, just try to contribute to Oolite and we will all help in due course. Your imagination may be higher than your skills at the moment but in the future that may change. Also offending any board member is not a good attitude.

a) This is not 4-Chan. Please don't lower the level on the "Friendliest board this side of Riedquat"(TM).

b) Instead of being mad at this hand slap, be better. This is, after all, the "Friendliest board this side of Riedquat"(TM).

Very true

There isn't an "applause" smiley, otherwise I would post it here.

You mean something like this:

I understand how Okti feels.
