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) |
Alex, we've spoken before and I don't for a moment think that you would send out a message of this type to a person you didn't know. I'm sorry that this thread upsets you but I set it up so it would serve as a cautionary lesson to some of the men who might want to contact us but aren't sure of the best way to go about it. These aren't the way.
The PMs many of us get are the equvalent of a having a car slow down next to you on the street and having the occupant scream, "Hey, sexy, want to screw!" It is offensive when you think about it. I've set up this thread as a way for the members, both male and female, to vent by saying, "you'll never guess what someone yelled at me from their car today" but without giving out the license plate.
Yes, we can have an ignore feature to block users who bother us but we don't know to put them on our ignore list until after they have already bothered us. The PM feature can be disable but that means we don't get PMs from people we want to get them from either. It would be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
The thread is basically to blow off steam and have a chuckle. I've specified no personal information because I want this to remain light hearted and not turn into a crucifiction of anyone.
That said I am going to post one PM with identifying information.

Your pic came up in the random images gallery, and I just had to say "Wow".
Two questions.
Can you pick up peanuts with it?
Have you considered spelling Wales with an H ?
