We should have a report button in PM

Since I keep getting junk PM, or a topic thats sticked that we can report spammers in. For instance here is one I just got

coldkill3r

 

yeh.
but that will give access to your PMs to mods.

 

I bet they already have access.

 

They do, thats besides the point

 

The report button would be like forwarding except to all the mods.
I don't even know who any mods here are so how am I supposed to send it?

 

That would be something that would have to be made into VB. I don't think mods/admins here can do it

 

Yes always use the forward button located right next to the reply button for quick action on spammers.

And if you are using the forum, why not memorize at least one of the moderator names to forward to, most of them are fairly easy to remember

 

No, they don't have access to our PMs.

 

Yep, was recently discussed here

 

Might be a good feature but for now, forwarding seems okay to me.

Its been suggested many times, and it is easy to implement if shawn or crazy rob (admins) can just plug it in

 

I'ma agree with this, I'm pretty bored of junk PMs now

 

Is that why you repeated yourself so we remember you are Mary?

This method works much better than the repot button because it does not go into a huge batch that sometimes get overlooked. I have found that most of my PM forwards have been acted on quite quickly. Of course some PMs you just have to ignore but if they are really spam, just forward them and they will be dealt with.

 

What about those who aren't reading this topic? I mean sure now I now a few mod names but to those who still don't?

 

Yep, they don't have any access at all. I don't think even shaw has access (not 100% sure on this) but I do know that the one way to read users mails is by looking at vbulletin's database that contains all the good stuff .

 

Mail can be logged, but by default it is turned off. PMs on the other hand have no actual means of reading them without looking in the database or installing a mod/hack to them.

Either way though, both are pretty safe from being read. The mods here have much better things to do with their time then read my sig sales PMs...

 

They do, I have used Vbulletin before as well as PHPBB, SMF, and IPB they all allow admins and those with the permission to, to view anything.

 

The mods here don't have pm access


If so, why when I've reported a spammer, has the mod asked to forward the pm
