Thanks Carol B for the tip re getting rid of unwanted PM's via the waste paper basket. I tried it with an unwanted PM from ? before she metamorphosised into The Messenger, and it has gone, unopened.

No reason is needed.

However, when I was receiving messages from someone who had referred to me as a cow, for no logical reason known to me, I deleted them without opening them, then removed the person from contacts, then had the person blocked; in that case, I did say that the person's behaviour had been appalling.

Don't think that'd work for me Carol B..not enough willpower....if I was caught in the wrong mood I'd be rude, fall into the trap and get reported and suspended as others have been.

I'll contact GR and just request it without reason and see how I go.

Not wanting unsolicited contact from a member is valid reason enough Muffy, it was for me :))

It's your inbox you can decide if you don't want contact from someone surely. Why would you have to give a reason.

BTW don't look at me ' the wrong way' today else I'll block you *wink*

Is it possible to delete without opening the message?

Anne's right, harassment is a good reason.

Surely you can just ask GR for a block without having to explain why - I've never needed to do it, yet!

But Muffers if it's me just say hun and I'll not darken your door again

Does there have to be a valid reason to have someone blocked from PMing you or can you request it because you just don't want to speak to them?
