Is there a way to block users from messaging you?

Postby SolidSnickerdoodle » Thu Oct 27, 2016 5:50 pm

I've been receiving some spam from some users lately. I've added certain users to my foe lost, but from what I can tell this doesn't stop them from sending me PM's. Is there no way to fully block a user? Or am I just kissing something here?

I don't know, what are you kissing? :big:

But joking aside, here is a link to the answer in the FAQ. Not sure if its what you wanted or not.

If people are spamming you, then PM me with names and I'll straighten them out right quick!!! This offer applies to everyone.
We mods and admins can and will deal with these situations, but we have to know about them first as we cannot (and would not) monitor PMs.
Edit: Zanev just recently purged a group of suspected spambots from the system, but new ones appear all the time and he likely could not get them all. So, everyone who has been getting these spams, please let me or xtc know and we will deal with them.

I wouldn't mind a blocking feature but if lots of people block each other I can see how it would kinda screw up the site with people not being able to contact or see other people posts.

No, I don't have kik.

Yes, and in addition if *I* currently had any foes around here, I'd want to know what they were saying if they ever started talking smack about me in a public forum - something that has happened occasionally (usually with a troll that pops into the site once in a while). That would be so even if i wasn't a mod and an admin.
