Anyone else been threatened with "being reported" or am I the only one lucky enough to receive a pm from this member?

Reported for what?

No, no threats here...from whoever that is.

No, no threats here either. Nobody has got the right to threaten anyone like that. I would be inclined to send the PM to GR admin. What have you said/done to warrant it, anything?

There was a member on last night who had posted about 3 different threads looking for same info. Lots of people posting about duplicate threads, use of text speak, basic manners etc. Now all seem to have been deleted but I had posted a comment and have had rather nasty pm from member today (the clue is in the thread title).
JoyBoroAngel, how do I send the pm to GR please?

I didn't get one...lol probably because I sat on my hands !
Either said person is very young and needs an adults help or she is a WUM, and since she used someone elses board name I reckon on the latter ... watching out for the number again.

I saw that people tried to help her, and that she ignored all sensible suggestions, not to mention changing her query when it suited. She was very rude.

would I be right in guessing that a WUM is a "wind up merchant"?

This person (when you go to PM is someone called Stephanie Johnson) was using the board name of Whirley a few days ago. I asked her politely if she could pls amend/change it to prevent confusion. She PM'd back asking for instructions on how to change her board name, which I helped her with. She then told me that the name "Whirley" was already in her account as her community name...mmhhhh....

anyway, her number is 9712236 and mine is 2416966 just incase she decides to change her name back again.

I suggest any nasty PM's are quite rightly reported.

Thank you to those people who commented on her thread a few days back about her then board name of Whirley already in use...by me.

Thanks all:)

Lisa, yes I did report her and she is now barred from contacting me by PM.
Don't think it appropriate to post the entire message here for anyone to read but will PM you if interested.
