this guy sent me a PM

[gorcorps]

PM from damage424:

You may NOT publicly share PM's from someone w/o their prior, specific permission.

As was advised below, pm the mod account with this.

Really? Sure it's easy enough to ignore but I'm sure this guy will just move on to another person and ask them if I tell him to screw off. Let's remove the annoyance before it spreads further.

 

[Number1]

From another thread:

Right from the guidelines:


9) Respect other users' privacy and do not post personal or private information of any other user without their express permission. Also, please be respectful of what other members share via Private Message.

I just came in here to post this..

As far as the actual topic in the OP, I think the difference in moderation regarding illegal drug use/attainment and piracy is interesting.

so whats respectful about asking for help in pirating PC games....
I seriously do not believe rule 9 is applicable in cases where somebody is asking you to essentially break the law...

As far as I know, Rule 9 prohibits you from posting the content of a PM publicly unless both parties consent to it. The content is irrelevant. However, I believe you can send the PM to the moderator account.

You can find support for my first two sentences in this thread.

That seems more logical than posting the PM in PFI and making it public knowledge.

PMs are fair game to be posted. If you don't want someone posting your PM you sent, then don't send it.

According to the mods that is incorrect.

to be technical that is according to just one mod......
I would bet many mods have many interpretations....
I am no mod but the guy was totally wrong to ask mfor such information and a case can be made that it should have been sent to directly to the Mod account rather than being posted here......

Mod is singular....
Mods is plural.....so far only one Mod has stepped into this thread.

And you would lose that bet. Senior AnandTech Moderator esquared has been perfectly clear on this, nobody may publicly share the contents of a Private Message w/o the consent of the person who sent it.

This thread will now be locked.
