JSkains and Private Messages

Post by _beastie »

Is JSkains bugging other people with uninvited, unwanted, and harassing private messages, or it is just me?

I have warned him I will share these PMs on the board, and consider him fairly warned. I view it as similar to receiving harassing phone calls, and warning the person on the other end you are tape recording the call for future use.

If I could just ban him from PMing me, I would, but as far as I know this site doesn't offer that option. So, instead, he's fair warned that I will share his PMs if he continues.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

To be fair though, you are a moderator. I guess it depends on whether he was contacting you about mod duties.

For the record, he hasn't PM'd me yet.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy.

Wasn't bout moderating stuff.

Yes, he has been PM'ing me, but I have deleted them without answering.

My understanding was that the board could ban posters from sending PMs to other posters. Bond? Liz? Is that so?

His PM to me was basically nice. To paraphrase he apologized for his behavior and said "he made an ass out of himself" . Not that I'm a big poster here, I told him I thought he'd be welcome and could add to the discussion if he just cranked it down a bunch of notches.

I doubt it, thinking that such a possibility would go against Keene and Shades' vision of a free speech board.
