I wondering how come when I sent a pm to admins and CKs the other day, I never got a respones on what happened. I posted in Unnes thread during his visit, I suppose you could say, and it got deleted. I tried PMing an admin and CK, yet no respones, so dont bother saying take it to the staff. What Im wondering is how come its taking so long to get a reply, but like everything, there has to be a good reason behind it, huh?

I want to know where I stand in this, because its obvious that PMs arnt as effective as they used to, and neither is chat.

So basically, why are you guys being selective on what situations to address on which to ignore? Its obvious I havent.

I answer all pms I get from members about board stuff so I really don't know what you're talking about. You might have a problem with you pm system.

I remember getting a couple pms from you about that issue and I replied to them. Did you not get those?

Pms are still the best way to talk to staff about a specific incident and I don't see that changing.

Like Del, I also respond to all of my PMs and I also really don't know what you're talking about.

Ditto, you didn't send me a PM either. I also checked Unne's thread, and there are no deleted posts in there.

I think you're starting to see EoFF in your dreams and are mixing it up with reality :monster:

I get PMs so rarely that it's not uncommon for me to miss that I have a new one for a while after receiving it.

I always respond to forum PMs. As for in chat, I miss them quite often. I don't know why, I just never notice the new window blinking up there. If I don't respond to a PM in chat, say something in the main room like "Hey RSL, PM."

Oh yeah, don't bother PM me in chat unless I'm active - most people pick a bot rather than me and I don't see it until days later :monster:

I did get those, and I appriciate the posts, though a simple answer from RSL in a pm would have sufficed as to my question approximatly a week ago.

And I didnt mentioned change; in fact, I also believe PMs are the best way to go, but your pms did not answer my question, and thus, my questions never not answered, and I was lead to be believed that I was ignored. Do you see where I'm comming from?

And RSL, I will keep that in mind for later reference. Thank you again :)

I respond to all PMs and at least look at warns, depending on whether or not I think the warn is a load of crock. Unless it doesn't get emailed to me, then I might miss it and respond late.

I answer every PM I receive.
Chat PMs, however, are undoubtedly a different kettle of fish, so they shouldn't be relied upon since Chat is a different system altogether. If you're sending an official EoFF-related PM, please use the official EoFF PM system:p

One time I PM'd eestlinc for sex and he replied and also said no at the same time so I went and got a sandwhich. True story.

Yeesh...I need to read thread titles more carefully...I thought at first this thread was about PMS, as in pre menstrual syndrome! :riiight: :tongue:

So wait. Is this regarding chat or forums? If it's chat, sometimes people just don't respond, they aren't actually obligated to in any way. I try to tell people when I'm busy and stuff, but sometimes as mentioned above, they just slip by me.

As for the forums, I try to respond to every PM I get but I have skipped past some in the past as I log in quickly, read them, see that they require a long response (or some kind of investigation), don't have time to respond so think to myself "I'll respond later" but never do. But that's a pretty rare thing.

MZ, I deleted your posts because they were completely off topic and you'd already been warned. If you want to know the answer to a question unrelated to the topic at hand, make a new thread.

Eestlinc is fucking HOT! The question should be why arn't more people asking Eest to have a big ol' gang bang party.

seriously. I've only received like 3 or 4 PMs about it so far, and they were all from dudes. It's sad.

Sorry, I'm busy with vacation and dont get to hang around the computer a whole lot.

Anyways, BoB, I had a concern of something concerning the boards, and I sent my probably via chat. Thats probably where you got mixed up on.

Just for future reference:
"Modwhoring" is when somebody is not a moderator, but acts like one by saying, "don't post that!" or "stay on topic!". That's all:)

Member moderation. It’s annoying when a spammer shows up. It’s just as annoying when non-staff members start saying things like "Oh my god you spammer" or "Close this thread!". Please don’t do that. Just ignore the jerks and let the Mods take care of it. Posting NOTHING in response to them is the best thing to do. Unless you’re a Mod, you shouldn’t be doing anything Mod-like.
