The issue is that they weren't harassing directly, they were being subversive, talking behind people backs, character assassination with no consequences. I understand why that would bother people, it's one thing if someone comes directly at you, then you can choose to engage them or ignore them. But when they sneak around and say completely false things about you, you have no choice but to hear about it second hand. I also suspect the emotions that sort of situation would create would spill over into the forum and create a toxic environment. As I said, I don't want PM on the forum for myself, so this isn't an issue for me, but I see how it could be more of a con than a pro.
I think you make a good point. I don't see the skypers on here so much and miss their banter. I have wondered if it's cause they are all talked out. It's a shame that a few runined the PM system for all. I honestly have never been on a board that didn't have it. To me I can't see sending hateful PM's.......it's not something I would do. I don't even like leaving neg rep and until recently didn't have the stomach to do it then some people force you into it. :smt102
Hate messages can be sent via reps, absolutely. However, unlike PMs which I would imagine act like IMs would, reps can only be dished out to you no less than once a week, where negative PMs are just a constant stream. I think the site is fine without it. If you really want to contact someone off-site, there are options of finding out their information, if they don't have it listed.
We all still post, but the board hasn't been as interesting lately. Even if I wasn't on Skype, I'd still say the same thing. Pardon me, I didn't read all the replies, but I thought another reason the PMs were removed cause it takes away from the paying members in the Personals section.
If there is PM, you will get hate & racist mail from me on a dail basis, consider yourself the chosen one for that.
I think that any newcomer that his/her first post has any reference to bottom of the barrel white women, black men all having big cocks, or a picture of 'supposedly' his dick should be immediately electrocuted through the keyboard. It would save us all a lot of time and headache. That's just my opinion, but it would cut down on the number of trolls in this place.
Works for me! I'd add any man who shows up here advertising his wife for a cuckold deal to that list, along with any woman showing up looking for that type of arrangement.
Good adds. Unfortunately, I'm sure that we could come up with more to add to the list. I just hate for any new members that have signed up in the past 48 hours to see the crap that has been on here from trolls. If I was new and read all that, I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't be back. It's a shame. :smt012
Me too. If I was a guest and looked in some of the threads, I wouldn't want to join at all. Sad that the ignorant folks have to screw it up for everyone.
