I can't believe somebody has the gall to ask for fabric. If you offered thats one thing but out right asking. :thumbdown:

I had one a few days ago also.
I had never heard of her, so I deleted the pm.....
Strange...she just wanted to know what I was working on. :?:

You can send your concerns to Admin or any moderators ... check to see who is online , that way it can be dealt with fast ! We can only help stop the problem if we know it exsists :lol:

I got one like that a hwile back, I just ignored it. I only respond to PMs that make sense!! :)

I have received PM's like that too and delete them. Also had a few asking for free fabric. Thats why I posted the message a few days ago about whether or not to trust them but the topic was locked. :?

Please PM me the details, and I'll look into it.

Yes had that happen too and our "APE" pounced right on them and clobbered them but good.

I received both of these as well. Don't mind helping someone, we all are very generous with our time and talents!

Yeah, I got mine from the "selvage person" and the "ash" person also. I ignored it too.

we have addressed the issue of unsolicited private messages once or twice before. as the board grows, we'll occassionally attract the attention of unsavory characters. it sounds to me as though you have all kept your wits about you and are making good choices. :thumbup:

if somebody sends you a pm asking for something, and you haven't already established a friendship with that person, please do report it immediately to Admin or to me. you are welcome to report it to both of us. the first one to see it will look into it and take the appropriate action.

if somebody sends you a pm "out of the blue" that appears to be just a friendly attempt to make a friend, follow your gut instinct. i've sent pms to members myself because i noticed they lived nearby, or that we seem to have a common interest in something. (i promise - i don't need any selvages. :lol: )

we have had one or two reports of odd sounding "social" pms, though. if you get a pm that makes you suspicious or uncomfortable in any way, please feel free to let us know.

we may not notice a report in a topic. there are thousands of new posts every day.

also, if the point and reason for such a topic is not made carefully and clearly, it will create a great deal of unneccessary and counterproductive drama, confusion, fear, arguments, and very hurt feelings.

much more efficient to send us a pm. ;-)
