Abusive PMs

starbelgrade · 2009-09-29 00:16:53

What's the story with getting abusive PMs? I recieved a PM today calling me a "fag" & a "fat f*cking idiot". I am not gay, fat or an idiot, nor have I ever PM-ed the guy who send me the abusive insults. Is there any way of dealing with such vitriol, or should I just let him know what I think?

When you are viewing the PM, there's an icon that looks like this:

Just click it and enter the reason for reporting and it will be dealt with. Reported PMs can only be viewed by site Administrators.
