I had no idea in what section of the forum to post on this subject, or whether I should PM a mod or not... But well, I apologize if this is the wrong place, nonetheless.

I was just wondering what the Hell I should do when receiving a PM like this just a few minutes ago, from user "ogbonna":

I thought of ignoring it, but it was so retarded I was even puzzled on how to react.

What on earth to do in such cases? Since there is no "notify moderator" on PM's.

HAHAHAHAHAHA oh man, hey Yaek I have NOPE MONEY EITHER!!!
HAHHAA he said nope money!!! do you get that from selling nope on the steet kerner?

That was the best..i think it was the guy who wrote the song i posted in music.

I, by the way love the pig tails.

g

Well, at least I'm sure "Humor" wouldn't have been the wrong section to post this in, for sure

It's still horribly confusing, though

(Maybe it secretly is who sang that song... And of course you love my pigtails, they're just lovable like that )

It's probably another of those Nigerian scams.

Do not reply to it.

PM one of the moderators.

Nigerian scams?
Alright. If none of the mods notices this post anytime soon... I'll call one them's attention on it. Thank you, Gabriel

PS: I'm afraid it's too late. I gave this person a short reply after I read the thing. Something along the lines of "I'm not your frikkin friend, who da Hell are you?".
Is there any particular reason why I shouldn't have?

Yeah I got one too. I just deleted it.

I see. I'm thinking I should have done that, but it bugged me.

Well, we shouldn't feed monkeys.

But it should be alright. This will come to the mods' attention soon.

Good point

It's gone.

In future, anyone can forward these types of PM to me.

Thank you

Ugh, I got that same exact message. So retarded.

I told them to go choke on something

That was Me. Do you not want to send Me a bank draft for the lottery I won here in Nigeria. I would cash the lotto ticket Myself but as I have already explained this is not possible.

We can split the money together! Just send Me your personal bank account numbers. I assure you this is in both yours and My best interest. We will be rich I tell you, RICH!

Forward such PMs to a moderator, and be sure to note who sent it. The Nigerian thing is a common scam, for anyone who wasn't aware.

Thank you, Leviathan, I'll keep that in mind if there happens to be a next time - I really wasn't aware that anyone would be so stupid as to try a "scam" like that, no. (Can't help but wonder what kind of people actually fall for it )

It is a scam. the user names and these things they say need to be deleted and not allowed to do this here. It is pathetic. It degrades and lowers the whole sanctity of the message board. It creates a lack of respect. no one wants to be harrassed by telemarketers while they are trying to, think of their religion. for someone to have had to recieve this garbage in their pm box, no one wants to be bothered by that kind of harrassment.

It creates a lack of respect.

And how many times have you been banned?

no one wants to be bothered by that kind of harrassment.

And yet you keep coming back.

Goodbye.

Why are my private messages disabled?

Because you've been repeatedly banned (yet can't get that through your thick skull) and don't deserve the privledge.
