Subject: Can someone be banned for a PM they sent?

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

A certain member of this site sent a quite disturbing message to me, and a few other members of this site. I'm not sure what the rules are on this action and I'm also not sure on the rules of posting said users name.

Just (blocking) the user is the most you can do.

From what I recall, mods/admins have said they won't ban from PM's between two members.

It was sent to a lot of members, and was about 6 paragraphs.

I don't want to help you. I'm sorry. =(

Sure, if you feel legitimately threatened I'm almost sure that's a crime. Criminal activity violates the T&C.

  • 02.20.2012 5:42 PM PDT

Yes, I AM just that awesome.

I don't think PMs really have "rules" aside from the basic don't try and sell stuff and don't do illegal stuff. So if they're not doing that I guess that your best bet is to just block the user.

Well it was 6 paragraphs about how said user wants to anally violate me. So I mean..

Nope.

Basically, I make the best topics ever.

Feedback!
Duardo: This thread is locked for being stupid.
cortana 5 : It's perpetually my time of the month and I'm just grouchy.
Foman: I see absolutely no reason, either theoretical or practical, that this is not a superb idea. Excellent work, my friend.

The user in question has already been banned. But no, you cannot get banned for a PM. Block and move on.

EDIT: Also, why are you making such a big deal about this? The PM wasn't even that bad. It was just some disgruntled member trolling for attention and you're giving it to him.

Yes, Achronos can do what he damn well pleases on this site. I think it happened quite recently actually.

I guess you use your best judgement here. Is it worth reporting to the authorities? I'd say no. I'M NOT A LAWYER but I think (at least in the U.S) if an intent to harm is found, that's a crime. Not sure though.

If he sent it to you and a bunch of people, some people on the flood were also complaining about this, then send a PM to a ninja

This. Achronos got contacted by the FBI and the ATF I believe.

Ah yes, I just checked his recent posts. The internet turns people idiots apparently.

6 paragraphs? Can I see?? This sounds very interesting...

No. Unfortunately, there's no way to prove (safely) to the Mods these messages were actually sent to you. However, a site Admin (Achronos, runningturtle, etc.) may do something if it's really THAT bad. If it was just harassment, then I'd say no. Death threads or really bad -blam!-, perhaps.

I'm pretty sure you're out of luck, Reilly. Just block 'em and you should be fine (obviously), but as far as the ninjas' powers go I think they can only do something if actual legal action needs to take place because of the PM's contents (and even then they can just talk to Achronos about it).

"We live in a special time; the only time where we can observationally verify that we live in a very special time" - Lawrence Krauss.

I was a finalist :P

Some moderators believe that they don't have jurisdiction over what converses over the PM system. However, anything which is sent over PM which severely breaks the CoC, should be put forward to a moderator or Achronos. Then again, being it deemed worthy as a criminal action, or offence, or a severe break in the CoC (despite how you feel about it) is totally up to them.
