sephiroth.4217 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Is there a way to block forum members from messaging rage PM's at you?Don't get me wrong, I'll always reply 1000 worse, but it would be nice to just hit a block button or lock my PM so only Anet can mail.

Danikat.8537 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 As far as I can tell there isn't even a way to report PMs, which is a bit worrying.For now I'd suggest emailing Forums@Arena.Net with screenshots of the PMs so the moderators can a) take appropriate action against the person if necessary and b) look into adding report/block functions.

Just a flesh wound.3589 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'll always reply 1000 worse,Probably a bad idea. I don’t know the rules for private messages but since they’re on Anet’s forum and they probably can see them if they want then if the other guy reports you then you’re in the wrong.

I don't think my responses could be reported... It's more of a dismissal response that always seems to make angry people, even angrier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danikat.8537 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I don't know if Vanilla works like the forum software I've used, but on all the ones I've seen admins couldn't read PMs unless they were reported. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illconceived Was Na.9781 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 There should be a way to report messages. And block wouldn't be a bad idea either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted November 17, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted November 17, 2018 If you feel you've been attacked in a private message, please send an e-mail to Forums@Arena.Net. List the date and time (and time zone) that you received the message, and the exact spelling of the display name of the person who sent it to you. If it's a continuing conversation, please include all messages in the string. Also, it would be helpful if you include a quote of the full message (not snippets, the full message) and the reason that you object to it. Well, the latter unless that's obvious from the content. ;) I will look into the matter, and if I need further information, such as screenshots or the like, I'll let you know via the e-mail thread.We don't normally get into the middle of PM discussions, but we want our members to feel safe and to remain free of any verbal attacks or other offensive comments that might be sent through any forum medium. We'll investigate and take the appropriate action, as we have in the past. Members who feel they might take an incendiary conversation to PM to avoid an infraction or action on their forum privileges should be aware that they should not abuse the PM system any more than they should post a public-facing comment in an unacceptable form. TL;drDon't abuse the PM system. We will act to protect our members from harassment and other abuse.Report abuses via an e-mail to Forums@Arena.Net.
