★★★ OzPol Private Messages Being Passed Around ★★★
Mar 25^th, 2015 at 9:31am

This Thread was commenced by Lisa Jones in Chat. Annie Anthrax has just (about 9.45pm - 26th March, 2015) moved it here.

Mod.

Could FD or GMods please advise if it is ok for an OzPol member to circumvent the rule regarding posting the contents of someone else's PM in a topic .... by passing it around to heaps of members behind the scenes?

Some of us have retained quite a few interesting PMs we've received that we wouldn't mind sending on to everyone here. It's still the same...everyone gets to see. Hence the need to ask the above question.

Feeling threatened by the revelation of you & Google I'd say bogey.

Classic lashing out, much like posting nude pics of an ex.

You didn't send her any did you? Huh

People should be careful what they write because they can and will be held to it.

If somebody posts the contents of a PRIVATE message they should be removed from the forum for good.

I agree.

Then perhaps you can answer what your erstwhile lunch date has not. What is the recourse if one is sent an ominous, threatening, blackmailing and intimidating PM?

Is it....."Suck it up, Princess?"

Perhaps not if the menacing, threatening and blackmailing threat in the PM was very readily and easily actually carried out?
