I can't believe this thread is open and especially because it's open by a moderator and as a sticky!!!

If PMs are not allowed, why the site has them?

If someone doesn't want to receive PMs can't they disable it?

Can't you ignore users if they bother you?

Is it some kind of fun to air private messages or is it just a kind of publicly posting private mail which is illegal in many places?

I'm sorry to be so hard Gillette, but this is completely wrong. It's against all kind of netiquette and usually people that do this are banned from sites, not encouraged by moderators.

Even hiding the name of the sender, it's still very wrong.

(In case you think I'm offended because a PM I sent has been published, it's not the case, I only read first 3-4 posts and no pm sent by me has been published)
