Ever Received a Crank PM?

[Tacit_Exit]

Just got notification of this PM from 'A Certain Poster';

"???

"

I have no clue as to what this is about, as I haven't replied to any of his threads, nor he (?) to mine.

Anyone care to enlighten me? Or share similar experiences?

Edit: remove name of poster.

 

[CurtSibling]

I get them all the time.

A thread isn't the place to talk of them...
But please see a moderator if you are getting odd PMs.

Moved to Site Feedback.

Posters who'd received harassing PMs shld report them to TF and/or the moderators. Such acts are not condoned, and the appropriate level of disciplinary action would be taken, if warranted.

 

[Chieftess]

I've gotten one that was a reported post where a newbie meant to hit "Reply To"...

 

[Tacit_Exit]

Good point Chieftess.

He may have been trying to reply to one of my threads (if somewhat negatively).

And I am looking into it. The mentioned poster has already been banned as a DL.

I once received a PM from a newly registered user with 0 post asking me to make him a super-mod and that I wouldn't regret it.

Beat that!

 

[Chairman Yang]

I will! I swear I will!

Actually I've recieved a few rather annoying pm's during my time here, mostly from moderators telling me what a naughty naughty child I've been.

 

[Knight-Dragon]

CY, one sentence.

You are not endearing yourself to the mods here.

Is the guy still around?
I mean that's real odd.

Well, I wouldn't regret making Lefty a mod...

I don't get crank PM's as much as I get challanges to my Perfection, I usually dismiss them with. "Bah!"

 

[Chairman Yang]

my favourite word!

Hacked by Chinese, anyone?
Inside joke for the old skool mods. ;-)

More on topic - I don't think I ever got something like that... I feel so lonely...

I once thought of sending people random awards via PM without explaining:

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU PLACED SECOND IN THE SCARY CLOWN COMPETITION!

Of course, that would probably get me in trouble. But it'd still be fun.

whats a "DL"

 

[Padma]

"DL" = Duplicate Logon. Some sites call them "Alter Egos". It is a second account for a poster. They are not allowed here, and are perm-banned when discovered.
