I didn't know where else to post this...how come it's okay to give graphic teaching on "bj's" and send it to my email and yet everyone is in a tizzy over the "f" word being used in the subject line??? Someone venting and using a little colorful language bothers me far less than getting unsubscribed-to pornographic email (at least that 's what this email looked like.)

gg, that was from a poster who repeatedly comes on in the middle of the night, posts the same nasty stuff over and over again, gets banned, and then comes back a couple months later with a new account and does it again-- in the middle of the night when no mods are around. He/she does it in every forum, too.
 It's really sick.I'm sorry to hear you were exposed to that. __________________  Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name ~Alanis Morissette |

"E-mail" and "Private Messages" are two totally different things. If it was PM (Private Message), take it up with one of the mods. Otherwise, there's not much that can be done about what you get in your "email"... I don't think... except for a program that sorts out your email for stuff like that.

Tomi, I think it came to gg's email through her daily log of the forums.

Tomi,
Some people have their profile set up so that they recieve a daily log of all the posts in a selected forum. It's sent to their email. When the gross poster came back last night and posted disgusting messages, they probably were sent with the daily log to gg. I believe messages that are deleted still get sent to the daily log. Not sure on that though. Does that clear it up? Clear as mud? lol  Angela

Sorry I haven't responded to your posts. I've been away from this site for quite a while. Yes, I do get the daily logs sent to my email. Thanks for the explanation. I need to get back here more regularly.

Some people just SPAM at will with no regard to who they're sending it to. I know AOL has a Member's Directory, but AOL also has a SPAM filter that either stops that stuff or sends it to the SPAM folder.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
