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

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.

Thanks all for the suggestion. We will have a think.

As has been mentioned, if you are banned, then you can't access PMs so we won't ever switch to just PMs. We also have the issue of lots of staff who work flexible hours in the evenings and weekends and could miss replies, or not receive them for days.

We could look at a prompt PM to say you have an email in certain circs? We'll raise it at our next Very Important Meeting.

To those who don't use their registered email addy Shock you are missing out on our wonderful, lovingly constructed emails and newsletters. If you want to update your email address, pop into My account and to change it Thanks

WorraLiberty - cake is a fab idea, as long as we get all our reports in cake form as well Cake

@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. Grin
