Report This Pm Button
This is the third or fourth occassion on which I have received a harassing PM from a user since I've been here... and I ALWAYS have to quote, tell the admins what's going on, send five messages (one for each) and explain everything. Why don't we have a REPORT THIS PM button? It would make it so easy for people who get harassing messages to deal with it.

Because PM stands for personal message. They are not public domain.Originally posted by Cellfone Boi@May 29 2004, 02:14 PM

Wait, the rules do still apply to it, right? Like if someone called me an asshole and said nasty things to me in PM while I did not provoke them on site they could be warned, correct?

Re: Report This Pm Button
Sure they apply. If the user reports the action we'll investigate and read the correspondences between the two members. Reporting the personal messages voids your rights to keep them personal, therefore an administrator goes through and reads the offending PM's between the two members and decides what to do accordingly.Originally posted by Cellfone Boi@May 29 2004, 04:09 PM

Re: Report This Pm Button
Skye, i thought that the admins read what pms were...cuz i thought i say cindy say someplace that she could get access to all pms, is this true? because it if it we could just be like: "look at this pm from so or so"...or can the admins not read pms?

Re: Report This Pm Button
Yes they can indeed read your PM's. They can also read all the emails which you send to people through the site.
I think they might have to go through and browse the database through phpmyadmin for PM's though, but email's have their own seperate page option in invision.
That's why I like phpbb because people who use those forums are secure in the knowlegde that what they do is private.

No I am pretty sure they have an actual PM SYSTEM integrated into the admin panel. I had one on my site. It's actually useful on a site like this for liability purposes.

Re: Report This Pm Button
Yeah, totally. I'd imagine the admin don't have time to read PM's anyway.

Re: Report This Pm Button
I have a feeling I know wut Samzs saying. U knowwhen you get a REALLY offense email, if u clicked the report PM button, it would alert the admin, instead of clogging there inboxes. Personally, I think it's a good Idea. I think thatif the admin wants to get to the root of the problem, they might need to see all the PMs between the two people, otherwise, you might be convicting someone on hearsay........
I was talking to God, and I asked him
"God why don't you create a scientist who can find the cure for AIDS/HIV and Cancer? Why can't you send a leader to give world peace?"
You know what God said?
"I did, but you all killed them in the womb."
