(answered) Reporting suspect PMs and how to do so effectively?

[dunwich]

I recently got PM'd by a user asking to buy drugs. 8)

I forwarded it to a mod but i nothing has happened to this user,
esp bc in is his reply to my initial reply he was sayin stuff like
"u posted this pic, OBVIOUS im gonna ask you" and insulting me,
not that i didnt insult him a lil bit/lay down harshish law in my initial reply, however my point is he clearly never got reprimanded. No lesson learned.

Dont even know how a greenlighter is PMing but...yeah

Since our upgrade, we can no longer restrict GLrs to just PM staff, so instead we have severely limited their PM access, and they can only send 1 PM every few hours. We hope that this will encourage them to not use that PM for things like this... However, with the loss of our ability to restrict PMs to staff only, we did get a new feature, a report button in PMs themselves, so if you are getting PMs that break the rules, you can now report them the way you would any other post. The report button in the PMs is located in the same place as it is in the forums, in the upper right hand corner of the post.

...nothing has happened to this user,

you don't know that - the forum staff may have contacted the user privately.

Just report the thread by the method I suggested in the PM.
