Now and again, after posting on a thread, I have received PMs from (sometimes mad, bad or sad) other posters taking issue about something I have said rather than on the thread itself. For example a few weeks ago someone PM'd several times because they had been asked by MNHQ to refrain from posting on the thread.
So far nothing that I couldn't handle by either ignoring of replying myself.
However, I can't help wondering how I would handle someone who was stalking/spamming me in some way.
Are there any guidelines or even an unwritten etiquette on how difficult PMs should be handled? Sometimes I feel like just copy and pasting the message on to the thread. It also concerns me that vulnerable posters could end up being bullied by PM comments that would normally be deleted if put on the thread itself.
Any thoughts/advice?
