Private message or E-mail?

In the rules it states that you should Message one of the mods if there is a post in the wrong spot or if someone is breaking the rules or spamming etc etc. However some mods have in their signatures an email address (bnetmods@gmail.com) I was wondering which the mods preferred to be used, a PM to an individual or an Email to bnetmods@gmail.com.

-Thanks

PM's.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.

You know, it really depends. If you need something resolved soon or instantly, PM a few. However, i know some also check the e-mail, so you could alsways put a problem in an e-mail. Infact, you could even go as far as adding that e-mail to your google talk list and Instant messenging them.

If you don't know which mod is on, then it is better to email it. If you know a moderator is on b.net right now then you can PM them so they see it right away. The email address was created because users may not know which mod is on and cannot figure out who to PM. I have this nifty little program that tells when they are on, but when I'm in doubt I use the email because every mod can see it.

I'd do the Googletalk thing, but for some reason, it would be awkward for me to do that.

If we can't respond to something like that, then we shouldn't be on GoogleTalk. >_>

Although that happens with MSN a lot. I end a 2 hour game of Myth and there's three people trying to report stuff.

Well why don't you use Yakalike or Peeko Chat...you have to have Mozilla Firefox, and true *methinks* it caches a-lot of memory *if I used the right terms and stuff* but it is cool.

Well, I guess I can see. But I have a tendency to always worry about if I'm annoying someone or not. Like when I check to see what mods are on to report a spammer or something, I usually hope that none of the mods that I usually PM are on. But I'm just weird like that.

This just happened about an hour ago...I wanted to report some spam to TGP, so I did. Then some more popped up, so I reported it to Shishka because I reported some earlier to TGP. I don't like to bother moderators too much. And I always try to make sure I am not bothering them.

You people have just sent my sides into orbit. A bunch of MLG try hards sucking the dick of some supposed pro half the thread hasn't even heard of. Classic.

I use Google Talk mostly. Sometimes I use MSN if there are Mods on there. Just depends. I only PM them when I have a question for myself.

I PM them if I need help with something or to report stuff. Otherwise I leave them to meditate.

I try to be kind about it. I don't much like bothering people, but it is their responsibility as moderators of Bungie.net. If they were paid for their service they'd just be searching everywhere and hoping someone would PM them or message them so that they can show they are doing their job.

PMs are a bit hit-and-miss.

The absolute best way to contact one of us is via IM (MSN or Google Talk), but only because it's instantaneous, and you can see which of us is online at the time.

Well shouldn't there be like a Sticky with all of the Moderators IM names? That could provoke spam IM's...but it would be for the better. I use AIM though...so I am screwed unless I go download more stuff...and I am too tired to care. I use PM because it is there...and it works.

Yea, I figured that...that is still why I use PM...I PM'ed a few mods last night, and within 2 minutes the situation was under control.

Especially when it doesn't have to be you. You'd much rather take another swig of whatever you're drinking at the time.
