Hey I'm messaging everyone because I have 5 Minecraft accounts for sale. They all have bought the full game and I'm asking $4 paypal! Message me if you want list of names available and some more proof if your interested.


There is no report function however. How do I report him?

EDIT: Was mildly mistaken, got this last night just noticed it.

first off, don't include an example with someone's gt in it. secondly, i think you can just block/ignore it

I recall that rule about singling out a member being removed so I don't think it matters. Also I included the name to maybe use this thread itself as a tool for reporting. I'm hoping a ninja might see it and amend the issue.

meh. its the internet. got a problem with someone? ignore them. because for the most part, those kinds of spam messages don't get investigated.

We need a madness to the method!

I think the option given to us is, block and move on.

However, really nasty problems (worse than spam or flamewars) could probably go to Achronos.

U Mirin?

Why don't you do any work on your chest or legs or something? You look like a cartoon character.

How is that message remotely offensive?

Selling an account is illegal I believe. Also this is spam and deserves a ban of some sort.

agreed. just did some reading on the rules. other than bungie employees, no one has power over private messaging. the rules of generally polite behavior don't apply to pm's.

Just sent a PM to achronos. Maybe he'll deal with it. I just wasn't sure what I was supposed to do seeing as how there is no report button.

Blocking the user is the best thing at this moment in time. It works. =)
Well thank you everyone. Hopefully this is taken care of. The contents of the message imply I wasn't the only one who received it and it could easily be a scam. Just trying to help.

Thanks again!

Wow.

This message isn't offensive in any way at all. Seriously OP, just get over it. It's not like it affects you at all.

Block him and move on. Only when you get threats should you report it to Achronos. He can access inboxes (if I'm not mistaken) and deal with serious issues from there on.

This message wasn't only sent to me. This could easily be a scam another member could fall for. And Im pretty sure attempting to sell anything through PMs is against the rules. I don't understand what your issue is here. Just trying to deal with someone who's doing something he shouldn't.

You're jumping all over this, making a thread and everything, over .. that?

Are you kidding?

Damn this place is getting slow.

I wanted to know the proper way to report an offensive Bnet message. I've never had this issue before. I don't see what the issue with you guys is. I wanted to know for future reference.

People are this forum are really cranky when it's late over here wow.

  • 09.24.2011 12:54 AM PDT

It is possible to commit no errors and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life.

Cheeto is the only one among you that doesn't suck.

They're not cranky, they think that they're the elite of Bungie.net. The ones who actually answered your question respectfully and helpfully are the elite, while everyone that turned their nose up at you think that you should know everything in relation to how this site works.

Like was said above, just ignore them. You're better off that way.

Well thank you for being more understanding. I got my answers earlier so I think I'll head to bed. Thanks again everyone who was helpful.

And it bothered you THAT much that you couldn't ignore it.

  • 09.24.2011 3:21 AM PDT

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

I was expecting something completely different than what I saw here. I use to see these types of messages often when I was fraud agent for a auction site. Your best course of action is just to ignore it and block the user, unfortunately the only real defense against things like this is knowledge. Educating internet users on what a possible scam looks like.

Personally I'm wondering if the member's account hasn't been compromised. It's a year old and has only made two posts and they were around the same time as the PM you got.

Eh, it could just be yet just another stupid person on the internet too.

I play for fun and armory completion. :)

This really is not that offensive, just block/ignore the user. The feature is there was a reason.

  • 09.24.2011 8:11 AM PDT

Key

Block them and delete the offensive message.

Problem Solved. Report no longer needed.
