PMs

Post Reply New Topic

I tried to send a PM which sat in my outbox for 24 hours without going into the sent messages box. It did relate to the Adult discussion Forum so are such PMs moderated before sending? Has the recipient blocked incoming PMs (can you do that?) or is there a glitch? Are there rules about using euphemisms or stars in words that may be medically correct but which relate to intimate acts/parts of the anatomy?

Private messages are private between the sender and receiver.

Messages stay in your out box until the receiver decides to open them.

There is no compulsion on any member to open or reply to a PM if they choose not to.

Rules of Wrong Planet apply to the sending of PMs too - it is not permissible to send personal attacks, sexist, racist or homophobic attacks and so on.

Receivers are able to link any abusive PM for moderators to review in full in the original state, and action is taken as necessary.

Members are not always open to receiving a PM from a member they have not previously had cordial interaction with on the boards, and occasionally pseudo members join in order to send phishing PMs which are scams.

So it's up to the receiver, and finally, there is no point in sending a PM to a member who has not visited the site for years, as it is unlikely to ever be seen.

Very many thanks for that helpful and complete response.
the PM in question was part of an ongoing live thread but i entirely take on board what you are saying.
