Hi folks,

Recently it's come to our attention that sometimes people are PM'ing one another and asking each other to not reply to a specific post they've made. (Because people are complaining to a member of the moderation team about these requests.)

This forum software has a feature called "Ignore." To ignore a fellow member (and therefore not see any of their posts or replies), simply click on the member's name you'd like to ignore and choose "Ignore this user" option.

It is against community guidelines and unsupportive to PM someone to tell them to specifically not reply to some thread. So please do not that any more. Put the person on ignore and leave it be. That's why the feature is there.

If someone PMs you with such a request from now on, please PM me personally and I'll make sure the other member understands that is not appropriate. Thanks.

DocJohn
