Could warnings to people be issued by PM rather than email?

[magimedi]

This is not a TAAT but has been raised on another thread.

WorraLiberty has summed this up well & (with her permission) I am quoting her from another thread:

"I don't use a phone for Mumsnetting, so I would actively have to log into my email to check on the off chance that HQ might have sent me a warning for something.

Rebecca said... We have temporarily suspended her account for personally attacking several times on the same thread in a short space of time when we have sent previous warnings about similar behaviours.

If it was in a short space of time, she might not have seen the emails.

Whereas if her inbox lit up, she probably would have and then heeded the warning.

It's how lots of forum moderators do it."

It seems such a good idea. Not all of us use phones for Mumsnetting.

Testing

ok try again

can I agree with myself under different names if it's obviously me?

On the subject of emails, and I've said this before, would it be possible not to mention usernames in emails?

Eg I receive:

To: Real Name
Subject: Cut it aaaaaaaht

Dear MrsH

Peace, love and .

We aren't going to pretend everyone's totally private about their email. The only association between the username and email address should be "backstage".

Harrumph.

MaryZ

who do you mean? me?

you all know it's me. That's not sockpuppeting

(I had to change back to this one as I was trying to sort out the email situation. got some answers but not sorted yet. I need my drama name back. most appropriate )

Wait, your name isn't Mary?! Next you'll tell me Zing isn't short for Zingderella. Pfft.

I'm thinking of the very many posters who don't mind or can't help if their partners see their emails, but who don't want those partners to know their MN name.

I'mTheRealZingShadyI'mTheRealSadyCozAllYouOtherShadysJustImitatingSoWontTheRealZingShadyPleaseStandUpPleaseStandUpPleaseStandUp

that is my full name

Right back to "normal"

Right back to "normal

Normal? Zing?

for first laugh of the day!

you didn't notice the commas with your hangover magi

@Maryz

MrsH, I find it weird to get it the other way around - I'm used to emails from MNHQ addressed to MaryZ, but did a slightly panicked double take one day when Olivia addressed me by my real name (which isn't Mary by the way).

DID I?!? I blame the gin twins.

I like "Cut It Aaaaht"

Mumsnet Calling conjures up an image of one of you standing on top of a lighthouse and making a loudspeaker with your hands, shouting "Ziiiiiiiing" "Ziiiiiiing" while another is waving a Mumsnet banner trying to catch my attention.
it's a lovely image but going "Oi, you, cut it aaaaht" would be more effective

just sayin'
