    Default Questionable PM??

    I just got a very questionable PM from a new member. Can this be reported, and if so, how? Can I block this person from my PMs? Or is it a case of just not replying?

    Until you get a better answer, I do know that you can report a PM, much like a post. Please do report it!!

    There is a red triangle with an exclamation point in it. It is located to the right of the tan box that has "Private Message:" on the left side of that box which is above the message.

    There is a place over on the left side of your profile with the heading "Settings & Options" that one of the options is "Edit Ignore List" (that is not a link), I was under the impression that was for posts made on QB, not private messages. I could be wrong about that.

    Thank you so much! I did report it. I wonder if this particular poster made 'questionable'/ mildly 'suggestive' PMs to other members too.

    Hopefully, if others have received such a PM, they will report it, too.

    Ginger K, you did the right thing. If any post or message makes you feel uncomfortable, report! That is the best way to keep our site safe. Good for you and thanks Workbench too!

    OMG GingerK ... Bless you for going "public" on this and not just dealing with it quietly. It'll help others to be aware and know that things are not always as safe as we want them to be.

    One can never be too cautious anymore, whether IRL or virtually!
