Use of private messaging to sell things

Tue Jul 02, 2013 8:16 pm

In my inbox of my p.m. on here I have 4 new messages.

One of them is pushing a book about last season , the other 3 are exactly the same thing pushing sales of Annis` biography.

I haven`t asked for any of the above so why is the p.m. system being used for such blatant uninvited marketing?

Why not send a private message to Annis if you feel that uncomfortable.

Or just delete them if you dont want to buy. Not difficult.

Now Browny has tried to sell it to me, i'm tempted, but I hope it's not been used yet though!

Although he did mention something about wanting it for his new tanning salon/sex shop :shock:

Go into user control panel and select "board preferences". You can turn off various things in there.

I can see a new thread called 'Blow Up Babes'.

Re: Use of private messaging to sell things

Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:48 pm

If you are considering buying a blow-up doll, be sure to shop around for the best deal due to inflation. Taxi please sir.

I'd rather not have the PM's either to be honest

Re: Use of private messaging to sell things

Tue Jul 02, 2013 9:56 pm

I actually thought that 'PM' really stood for 'Personal Menace' judging by some of the hilarious threatening PM's some users have received over the last couple of seasons.

I spoke to Annis about 'PM-Gate' over the phone yesterday. Please understand he is a bit of a technophobe, its was'nt his intention to send out 3 PM's. He did intentionally send a single PM advertising his books as he is going away on his holidays and wanted to post any orders prior to his departure. He was a bit gutted he spammed people inbox's and im sure it wont happen again.

Im just passing on the explantion he told me on the phone yesterday, and before anyone asks...NO....I wont be PTB on him :lol:

I got excited when I got some PMs as I never usually get any!


I don't need any books though :cry:
