Thai Visa's Private Messaging (PM) system.

This system does needs some modifications.

I've just been on the end of what could almost be described as a wacky PM ... same Member every-time.

Sends me messages as a one way street. He's sitting on the other end on the keyboard, hitting refresh every few seconds till he knows I read the message, then removes any contact permission, so, once he's had his say, the tirade is finished.

No right of reply and importantly ... no chance to report the conversation as ... 'I don't have permission to view that'.

Could the system be changed so that say, only Admin or a Mod can set these permissions of not being able to view PM's.

Maybe there is a better way ... but the PM system is flawed.

You do have a report button on PM's.......

You also have a "block" button -----------use it !

You do have a report button on PM's.......

Agreed ...

But what happens is that you open the PM and normally the OP in the PM is not so bad, but it degenerates from there after a reply or two.

Since I never start the PM, I don't own the controlling permissions.

So the Gentlemen Member simply removes my contact permission and I am hamstrung.

Even my reply can't be sent because the permission has been removed.

If I can't open it ... I can't either read it again or report it.

You also have a "block" button -----------use it !

No need to 'block' anyone ... I even read your comments.

Can you do a print screen ? Cntrl Alt (Prnt Tab) & then attach with a report.

I think that's the format, could be wrong though.

I agree the system is flawed and open to abuse.

Good thought ...

But I can't even open the PM to PntSc

Can't you just ignore it ? When you get a message from this person, just delete it, or not even read it.. it will drive said person mad!!

Hope my comments enliven your day !

Report it to one of the admins.

I disagree. There's nothing attention seekers and control freaks hate more than being ignored

To never get a PM again from any particular member for any reason:

1. Click on your username above.

2. Choose Manage Ignore Prefs

3. Add the name of the blockee (select messages).

4. Click SAVE CHANGES

Sorted!

What did you do to upset this chap....takes 2 to tango ya know.

That's pure speculation, my friend.

Does take to to Tango ... and I've got my dancing shoes on.

But my partner in the PM just messages me, then turns off all permissions ... I never get a chance to dance.

I have some funky moves ... but never get a chance to show them.

In his eyes ... I'll be for ever the 'white sliced bread kid'.

Note to mods: If the OP wishes to pursue this as a formal complaint, please allow me the opportunity to rebut his biased accusations (privately of course), as he has already grossly misrepresented the facts and left out ... oh so much. I really really would rather you not have to waste your time on this, but if he pushes it, I think I deserve the chance to defend myself against such aggression.

555555 it's a JINGTHING DRAMA !!!

No-one has mentioned you in this thread until you did...

I would rather the OP drops it and most certainly STRONGLY ENCOURAGE him to use the block function for posts and PMs. As far as attention seekers here, who sought the attention? Not me.

Who said it was you JT?

I feel some paranoia coming on.

No-one anywhere here has mentioned who the poster is.

Indeed ... tis not the point ... I asking that the PM system be reviewed ...

He might have as well done. I told him how to BLOCK and his reply made it clear to anyone with a brain that he was referring to me.

Oh yes, but JT has pretty much admitted to this.. even if it isn't, it certainly gives us an insight to why he gets banned from restaurants, attacked by baht bus drivers etc..

What fun !

What I was getting at is that you most likely danced with him/her elsewhere and now you have a pet stalker.

No offence JT.

Pets can be cute.

I think I mentioned Irony ... nothing more.

Again, I am ready to defend myself privately if this is elevated as I strongly feel I am the one being repeatedly provoked by the OP.

Pets can be cute.

Until they crap on the floor, or constantly whine when not given enough attention...

I don't think you get who is the stalker here. It's not me.

Wasn't clear to me.

My brain is tired today...well the eyes are and they are in front of it.

You dobbed youself in....very silly JT....not how to play the game, read the rules.
