    Default How to block private messages.

    Is there a way to block members from sending private messages other than letting your mailbox fill up?

    gee i wonder who you guys are talking about. after the discussion last week of post counts vs. miles hiked i find myself wishing there was a way we could do PMs sent vs miles hiked. that might be even more telling.

    Do you respond to them? Can't you know, do what yer mom suggested when you were a kid and ignore them? Not that that really worked then either, just wondering.

    Place the user on ignore and they cannot send you PM's unless it is a moderator.

    That's why I told them they can't block the moderators.

    Just kidding, I didn't send them anything. (Well not yet.)

    OK I 'm still mostly kidding but would appreciate a little more civility or use the ignore button.

    Thanks!

    That's why I was afraid of leaving my in box full or ignoring my alerts. Wouldn't want to miss a love letter.

    You could leave your in box full, it'll still go through.

    I jsut tried just to see what it would do:

    Sorry Alligator is a moderator/admin and you are not allowed to ignore him or her.

    Levity = Definition, something that may bite you later.
    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Only used the "Ignore" button once since I joined WB until last week when I added 2 more.

    It would be nice if the "Ignore" feature also hid or blocked threads started by those on your "Ignore" list.
