I edited the foul language.

We cannot prevent anyone from sending such messages, either by PM or by email, but we will not permit our PM system to be used to send messages like this to other members.

We also know bigvince sent a followup message saying to ingnore his first message. I sent him a warning about this. In the future, such abuse may be grounds to lock the account of anyone who abuses our system in this manner.

They can ban him for it. Nothing can be done against him outside of the forums of course, but abusive private messages probably aren't allowed.

We should have some sort of decent standard here afterall this is the best site, so anyone that gets out of line with very bad stuff should go,or get a warning that next time they are out.

If the mods truely don't do anything about it, I guess you could just squelch him.

If I got a PM like that, I would simply put them on the &quot;ignore user&quot; list. Ban them myself - They could never PM me again. A really simple solution.

Cwand, I was tought at school that 'stick &amp; stones may break your bones but words will never hurt you'. The fact is all words are, are combinations of syllables, which in themselves are combinations of letters. It's up to the listener/receiver to interpret any words any way they desire.

So just don't make a big deal about it &amp; those words loose the power thay appear to have, when someone does make a big deal about it.

That's why it doesnt worry me in the slightest if someone swears at me. Consequently I don't understand why coppers react in the way they do when someone swears at them. If they are so immature that they take offence, they should never have been accepted into the Police Force.

If you are still peaved at him, just send a PM back, saying you'd like to split his daughter/little sister open between her pisser &amp; her pooper. But you are probably above such 'offensive' to-ing &amp; fro-ing.

Dabanshee, that's just a horrible thing to read. Maybe you could use the PM feature for your future tips in flaming? Thanks.
