PM - advertising

[Iggly]

not sure if this has been raised before - what do we do if we get a PM with an advert in? For example, I'd posted about something and received a PM suggesting I use their company...?? If it was a post, I'd report but PMs? What do you do?

I've reported a blatant one before from a user whose nickname was their business name, but if it was a regular (maybe local) MNer who PM'd because they thought they could be useful and didn't want to 'advertise' on the board then I probably wouldn't mind.

Which category was yours?

you can still report it.

are you sure you didn't allow the sender to think you'd asked for info?

(wasn't me was it? )

Id posted about childcare (not that I wanted any but that someone was looking for a job). I got a PM where the nickname matched the company being touted.

It was months ago so they must have trawled through old threads to find it?!

that's pretty blatant.
that's not the same as someone posting on a current thread and then pming you with further info.

If it's made you uncomfortable then report it,. :)

I will report! Although I'm on the mobile version so not obvious how

Yes please do report these kind of PMs. We don't allow people to do this.

I've just gone to my inbox to report but can't see how (is it because in using the mobile version?)

There should be a red hand. How I long to use it! I only get the odd purvey pm off the Enid Blyton troll. Or nice ones.
