Abusive PM's

[Rob S]

No, I'm not talking about prime ministers having a rant, but PM's received from other members through CAG If another member sent a message that was insulting or abusive, what would you do about it? Would you respond in kind and give them a piece of your mind or would the CAG mods be able to do something about it and deal with the perpetrator?

[Bookworm]

Report to the site team and they will deal with it.

Jonni2Bad is the man to contact.

I never respond to abusive PMs (and I have had a few) I would not stoop to their sad level.

I think you can add them to your ignore list too.

[Rooster-UK]

As Bookie said, pass it to a team member, ASAP.
If J2B is not about, then it can be passed to any team member and it WILL be dealt with.

Any posts or PMs that are threatening or insulting are breaking the forum rules and will not be tolerated.

Regards, Rooster.

[Rob S]

Thanks for the replies.

I wasn't too sure about CAG policy as I belong to another forum where a member sent an abusive PM to another member and was inititally banned for a month but was then reinstated as it was considered that as the message was sent in private then the usual site rules regarding posting didn't apply.

I've never had a single abusive PM.

I think they count the number of posts, green blobs, and then they notice the gingerbread man and list of DCA's I've had dealings with. Then they sneak off hoping I didn't notice them.

No-one would send you an abusive PM 'cos they know they'd get a mailbox full of bumblebees thrugh there doors!

Actually I'm shocked that no-one from any DCA has PM'd you! Maybe they don't fancy a battle of witts when they are so sadly unarmed

Looks like an open invitation FB . Wonder how many DCA's are going to PM you now.

[fuzzybobble]

No problem.

Come on DCA's reading this. Send me a PM

I DARE YOU.

Or, are you all the spineless, hide in the dark types, we CAG members think and know you are?

After today I think they're too busy answering my calls.
You wouldn't believe how hard it is to get them of script and to answer calls when you don't have an account with them.
I only have 2, and Moorcroft are deffo getting wise to me now. It does make me wonder if a few of them have been on YouTube recently

You never know, they may have put something liable on their computer system saying something derogative whenever you call up. Maybe a Subject Access Request is in order?

[diskmandave]

I too have never been the recipient of an abusive Private Message, but it's a very serious issue. Sending such PM's is against forum rules, plain and simple, and the PM system forms part of the service, and as such the Forum Rules apply.

Recipients of abusive Private Messages should report to the Site Team ASAP, as this kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable.

Best wishes, Dave.

Can anyone lend me £150 to send some Subject Access Request's with?
Be funny to get printouts of a gingerbread man with a "Warning you could be Fuzzybobbled" lable from 15 different DCA's

EEK...I might get an award at the DCA self backslapping awards 2009.

Oh well, such is the price of fame.

Locutus you can accept the award on my behalf.

[huggy41]
