Have any of you had a member PM you with stupid questions that are clearly posted in the thread, only to waste your time with 5 or 6 PM's, and then insult you with offers 1/3 of your asking price? This guy asks me every question possible, after I repeatedly told him to read the thread. It's almost as he's harassing me, except in an ignorant way. Come on already! Do you guys have any rants?
Put them on your ignore list Its eaiser for them to have you reply in a short text for the answer, or too lazy to read
at least they PM and ask you showing they are somewhat interested unlike some who said "PM me for detail" even though you make a really long thread post in explanation
It's hard to ignore them. I can guess your situation. If you write a certain and clear message you can just copy&paste&send to them
Let me explain you Gandhigiri , just reply him every time with "thanks for your message, you asked nice question" one day he will surely stop messaging you
This has happened to me a few times and once when I was selling a site although in that position I was very helpful and did not get angry with him, he actually ended up buying the site.
i have, and its a real pain in the ass. the insulting part is when they try and cut the price down. go away.
I always forget to do so... Ahh well, I suppose the below quote sums up quite well how my brain thinks! "Always treat other's how you would like to be treated."
I have experienced pm's that they are willing to buy from me only to never reply my pm's. This really makes me mad
Lucky, let me tell You an example. I post an auction on BST section ( link here ), about selling CODED template... guess what - the next day got 3 PM's from users asking me "IS IT CODED????". Personally I gaved up and just replied them with an answer, trying to be nice to them, but sometimes it's very hard...
