Private messaging...................
 

I will start off by saying I am not having a go - what I outline below, I do as well but ........................

Why is it that if you send someone a pm, or reply to a pm, people then put it down on an open forum.

The recipients know that they have got a pm - it shows up on your screen as soon as it comes ffs - along with the reply. There really is no need for the "sent you a pm" - "replied to pm" business.

I think we do it to prove to the rest of the forum that are having conversations not on the board lol. How self absorbed is that :rofl:

Have summarised my view in a facebook post.

Why didn't you tweet this?

Re: Private messaging...................
 

So what is it you are saying ? You dont want people to do it ? didnt you say you do it ?

Re: Private messaging...................
 

It's probably the only thing I don't do

Re: Private messaging...................
 

It's a terrible thing when you get a PM from someone that admits that they 'have issues'. I mean, how do you deal with that, eh Moo? ;)

Re: Private messaging...................
 

Nope just think it's funny

Re: Private messaging...................
 

Karma sent.

Re: Private messaging...................
 

That has to be very disconcerting. Maybe you should start up as an agony aunt :confused: ;)

Re: Private messaging...................
 

See now thats another one (and I know you kow it is thats why you sent it to hilite the point) but the recipients know they have the Karma (unless they don't know where to look). So it's just an under the table way of saying I agree with you but am not going to put it into words.

That was stating the obvious wasn't it :(

Re: Private messaging...................
 

I've dealt with it via PM, in a discreet and sensitive fashion. :)

Re: Private messaging...................
 

I misread the title, thought you were starting a new business :)

Re: Private messaging...................
 

Can mods read PMs?

Re: Private messaging...................
 

With these calloused hands??? You're having a laugh :lol:

Nope I don't think mods can read pm's (only their own!) - wouldn't it break some sort of privacy code / law or whatever?

Re: Private messaging...................
 

I would hope not. Somebody on the BE staff will be able to though as it's just data in a database somewhere.
