Private messaging

[TripleR]

Funny, about half the time, when I PM another member, I get no response at all. Think I need a breath mint?

On some occasions I have received a PM and when I tried to respond, I got the message the member was not accepting messages; some may not have their settings right.

It's been a while, but the same thing has happened to me.

I send some pm's ever now and again, i have never sent a negative one it's mostly complementing someone or well wishes to someone down for one reason or another. Soundguy i can't believe anyone would send you a negative pm your so helpful on here i bet they were joking and called you a jack a** oh no you said one word didn't you oh well.

some of my posts are a lil rough around the edges.. I don't hide it.. I kinda expect a negative PM now and then. I figure if I don't tick off at least someone now and then I may not be getting my point across.

I got a PM last week and replied to it but the ALERTS at the top of the TBN page still have a red 1 indicating that I have another new message. How do I get rid of this 1?

I told the guy I ticked of he needed to check his feelings at the door :laughing:

I really see nothing to be gained by offending people and in doing so some really important information may be disregarded. I had hoped members were here to help each other rather than to alienate them. Being rude is something I will just never understand.

BTW Dan, rather than the term "spazzed" may I respectfully suggest that in the future you use a more friendly term, such as "strung out"? Not that I take offense.

Channeling Monty Python........

SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM ... SPAZZED SPAZZED SPAZZED SPAZZED.

:laughing::laughing::laughing:

I am sure if I used the phase "strung out" on the other website, I would offend someone. Likely some guitar or violin players take offense for some unknown to me reason.

Regarding, unanswered PMs. I can miss the PM because of the way I use TBN. The little alert number for unread PMs is easy to miss and I don't always see a message. Right now I have 97 unread PMs. :shocked: Now, I have read and answered all of those PM's but they still show up as read. Been that way for years. So I have to not only see the PM count but also that the number has changed. :laughing:

Later,
Dan

A couple of PMs I sent simply disappeared into thin air. Could never retrieve them as "sent mail", so I assumed they were never received...by anyone...as far as I know.

i think the issue is 'rude' has no set definition.. it's a long line. one end is stuff that 98% of the people would blow off as funny.. or not see a problem... but 2% might be offended at.

Hard to make a post that offends no one on earth.. yet says exactly what it needs to say.. in a manner that everyone can understand.

if every post had to be wrote that way.. I'd stay home and play ball bymyself.

I understand kids read the forum so the outright bad stuff needs to stay away.. but for the most part.. if a mild-strong adult conversation can't take place between 2 ( or more adults ).. someone may be a lil too sensitive to be swimming in the deep end.. so to speak.

That way you know they are reading what you wrote.
