I have disabled my PM in settings yet I have received three PM's.

I've lurked long enough to know the harassment females get on this site.

There are a lot of good guys but the few immature boys looking for a date ruin the experience.

The attention W%%%%s love it, I do not

I just want to enjoy the babes and.........cars, yeah that's it

Thanks

It's a great site

Did I do it right?

No idea. Sorry the retards are harassing you

Could be a glitch...have you tried logging in and out again?

If that doesn't work, I'm sure the Diz man will take care of it.

Also, sorry the retards are harassing you.

Hrm. I dunno why either.


I do know that Crew Members are immune to the "ignore PM" thing, because we can force PMs on you but what fun is that if everyone can do it?

Yeah, if you want to contact Diz directly, you can go to his profile and PM him: http://whatboyswant.com/userprofile/1

Thanks much guys! I've tried logging in/out and hitting F5. I set it to Not Enable when I first registered.

Oh...damn. "Logging in/out" and "hitting F5" pretty much sums up my site related advice.

Diz is the way to go.


I would like a selective way to disable PMs in the future..like disabling them from certain people, that would be nifty.

Now that's a great idea! I don't mind being friendly and all with selected "buddies".

There should be a Send-To-Hell button for the assholes

Sucks that you have to deal with the bullshit. Maybe the PMs are coming from an account that used to have moderator access, but was never changed?

I DO like the "Send-To-Hell" button idea, though. It would be nice to be able to block PMs from all except your personal buddy list! Not that I have any buddies, but a good idea anyway! Enjoy the CARS. Peace.

That's probably not it...but you're thinking, and I like that.

Yeah, I just sent a couple PM's to/from a test account and the disable PM button doesn't work.

Hmmmm, maybe when the Crew was made exempt it forgot to close the door on everyone else.

I took a course in BASIC long ago and that was all it took to convince me that being a programmer was NOT a career choice.
I had to learn DOS commands as well, oh how the times have changed

Two of the PM's were "Add to Buddylist" requests. I now understand these are not blocked. One of the PM's was real and from one of the members making the request. Nothing bad but I don't want any unwanted mail.

I didn't mean to be such a girl about this but I've had issues on other boards. I'm slow to trust people on the internet and in RL.
Hell, I'm a Scorpio. I love to get into your business but I play my cards close to the vest.

Thanks again for your help and concern

Buddy request PM's cannot be blocked, moderators can always send PM's even to people who blocked PMing.

You did this from a moderator account to normal account? or the other way around?

Both. I opened my regular account in FF3 and my test account in IE6 and turned off PM's in both, but I was still able to PM either account from the other.

Thank you brownell for taking the time to do this. Maybe it will help the site in the long run

Thanks for responding Diz_X, I have been educated on these points.

I like to see the mods jump on the case like this. This is why this is such a great site. Thanks guys.

And webbie, I hope the freaks leave you alone soon enough.
