The Jailhouse

[DwyaneMcRoberts]

Some contradictions for your consideration:

Someone said that Admin regularly read PMs. I thought these were private and don't think that's right!
Admins do not have access to the contents of PMs. From a practical point of view, consider that there are tens of thousands of Users on this site posting over a million new posts each month. Admins are very busy reviewing the hundreds of public posts brought to their attention via the TOS Report, in addition to the hundreds of PMs and Support Requests sent to them each day. We do not have the time, energy or interest in trolling though PMs.

This guy sent me a PM and called me a jerk! That's a personal attack and he should be suspended!
Since Privates Messages by their very nature are private, administrative intervention is kept to a minimum. Admins get involved in PMs if they are extremely vulgar, contain threats of physical violence against the recipient, or are spam. If you are getting unwelcome private messages you have the option of blocking them. At the bottom of the PM, click on the link that says "Block User's Private Messages".

Now how does this work if Admins can't read PMs

Maybe you guys should close some loop holes: http://ihwiki.advfn.com/index.php?title=FAQ:Private_Messages#This_guy_sent_me_a_PM_and_called_me_a_jerk.21_That.27s_a_personal_attack_and_he_should_be_suspended.21

I understand there may also be an algorithm in place that detects vulgar words, hence likely the reason you telling me to try to it another person thinking I'll be dumbfounded or some nonsense.

Admins are also biased towards me since I originally had a paid subscription, got fed up with management and received a refund.
