RE: VULGAR PMs

We've still got a big problem with vulgar PMs. Everybody obviously doesn't read this thread.

Open for discussion: Considering sticking a button below private messages that makes it easy to send a Vulgar/Threat PM to us - basically just copying the text and link to profile of person sent it. (We often get sent links to the actual private message itself, but we can't read it - only sender/receiver) No other PMs sent to us will be reviewed/acted on. Only Vulgar/threats.

I'd hope it'd get used quite a bit initially, it does the trick, deters people since they know they'll get reported easily and canned, then the problem is largely solved.

Thoughts? I don't want to cross the sacred line of privacy with PMs, but I'm really sick of all these idiots who are abusive via PM and would like to put something in place that will greatly reduce it. It's especially pissing me off with new users that are getting these PMs. It does not look good.
