john fox Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 how about a flag or other indication that " I do not respond to unsolicited PMs, so don't send them" Would save a lot of time writing them for no apparent purpose :argh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmite!! Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 (edited) Not sure I understand this one??? if someone is sending you a PM it must be for a purpose... You have the option in your User CP to set who you receive PM's from... Is anyone else having problems with unsolicited PMs?? if so please let us know.

john fox Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Don't take this seriously as i was feeling rather frustrated yesterday but I actually meant the other way round Lee - ie. I send one to someone else who can't be bothered to respond. Would be nice to know if I'm on their ignore list before I waste my time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topdog Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 (edited) Courtesy means a PM should normally elicit some form of response, if the original message was not insulting or a dig. Maybe the recipient is away or the computer is down. Personally, my admin is not my strong point but hopefully I would always reply to a PM on here. We are all adults with a common interest afterall. I'm with you on this one 00EC25 Edited May 30, 2008 by Topdog Hit send too early! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
