Odd Private Message

[Dillon Levenque]

I logged in a few minutes ago and saw I had a private message. Upon checking I found a PM from someone I didn't know with a message that makes no sense whatever. I'm wondering if it is some kind of new spamming/phishing thing and if anyone else has gotten one like this from the same person or others.

This person's name starts with D (yes, a capital D). Checking the forum history I find it's made 13 posts, only one of which survived. Here's a screen capture of the PM I got. The sloppy red blockout is mine, the blacked-out part on the included image were there when I saw it. It's probably a well known internet pic; I didn't look.

Anyway, if anyone else has seen something like this I'd be interested to hear about it.

Logged in just to see if I'd gotten a PM! 

But, no. 

So, guessing it's some personal thing, and not random spam. 

[Dillon Levenque]

Huh. Maybe just misdirected, then. It's not as if I or anyone else who uses this forum could actually censor anyone's posts. Maybe I just got picked because my badge makes me look so Linden-like. I mean, they do always wear overalls and roller-skates, right?

Maybe they meant to send it to a moderator and hit your name by mistake.

Just in case it's personal, i'd hit the ignore button so the im's from them go in the trash where they belong.

I'm miffed. I'm the censor here. Where's my PM?!

[Amethyst Jetaime]

Oddly i just got a PM accusing me of censoring the guys posts.  I explained the facts of life to him and advised him to read the rules before posting or accusing someone of something they had no control of.

Don't despair Maddy, the idiot guy's on line and the night is young. lol.

Dillon, I had exactly the same private message this morning from the same person as you did.
Totally unknown person to me. I have no idea what is going on in that message sender's mind. :smileyindifferent:

[Dillon Levenque]

So three people just here in this thread, plus at least one other (I got a PM about that one).  Not really all that bothersome but it's very strange behavior.

Don't despair, Maddy. Maybe he's just working through the alphabet.

Well, tell him to hurry up!

I'm at the very edge of despair... and about to fling myself over.

Yesterday there was a now removed thread started by someone who had a thread removed biatching about Censorship here.  I'm wondering if this is the same person.

The OP had started a thread asking for help "fixing" his Ava which got removed.  I suspect it was removed because it was asking for people to violate copyright. 

I dunno.............

 

eta, I haven't got this PM.

Like OMG - What am I? Kitty litter?

I've not received my stern warning either!

We're gonna need a support group to help us rise from the depths of our despair, KM.

I want a support group that serves root-beer and orange-cranberry muffins. What'll you have?

:-(.

[Celestiall Nightfire]

BAH!   Still no PMs regarding my Censoring Overlordladyship. 

(guess I need to try harder ; )

[Aislin Ceawlin]

Can I volunteer to be the impartial person running the support group??? I promise, I will bring whatever goodies you request!!!
