Censorship and Advice
Posted: Sun Apr 13, 2014 2:30 pm
Recently I was sent a PM by our administrator and had to enquire 1) about what a PM was, and 2) how to access the same.
Now all you savvy posters on this forum may be familiar with all these extra fol-de-rols but to a tyro these things can prove daunting, and there is no help in the instructions/rules in how to go about accessing a PM - perhaps this could be added?
Also, it would help if the option of quoting on a previous post were provided with some instructions on how to go about it as this seems to be a widely used practice among the intelligensia.
Finally - I got a posting recently which included a note of a PM to myself, and after eventually finding a way to access it, found out that there was nothing there. As this PM suggested that it was highly controversial and might get the sender banned, I wonder if our administrator/moderator has access to these PMs and can eliminate them if they so desire.
Finally, should I ever have the desire to send a PM - how do I go about it?
I realise this is not earth shattering stuff but in the interests of encouraging use of the forum the information would be useful.
