PM report abuse button

First topic message reminder :

This is a suggestion for all forums and especially the help forum.
I am suggesting a report button for PM's. Just like we have a report button for threads we need one for the PM's.

Pm spam has always been a problem and the only way to solve it was to ignore it or ban the members asap. I think the reporting to ban stage takes too long, and before the admins or mods get to know about a spammer or Pm abuser the culprit has already posted 100 abusive Pm's.

I haven't seen this on any other forum, so we could be pioneers with this idea.
I would also like to see a automated version of this feature... what i mean is that the report button has a click limit. For example if the click limit for the report was 50 ... then if 50 different members clicked the report button during a similar time then the spammer would have his Pm disabled automatically... this saves time for the admins.

help support this suggestion, stop private message spam and abuse
thanks

But some members abuse others through it, which isn't any good.

Voted yes I think forum administrators also need to be able to IP check in PMs, as a few people abuse others through it, but never post.

Voted yes.

Bump.

Great idea , Jalokim!

No i Don't think there would have to be, All it would do is send a copy of the spam PM to the staff that then could ban/stop pm's from the member. It would be just like a Quote of the post you Got there would be no need for a pm reader at all.

If the pm's was stoped then the staff copuld undo this by the adfmin page if needs be.

I still think its some thing we all need
Bumps the post

I voted yes this would be a good idea

voted yes..

BUMPS thread

I think this is some thing we really need here on the help forum as in the last 2 days i have had about 12 pm's asking me to go to there site and make an account.

i sent the staff here a pm saying about the spam PM's and had to do a screen shot of that post i think it would be more easy if we had this as it's a long way around to send it to the staff by pm

it would also be good if we could have a thing that will take a screen shot of the pm we get so we don't have to do it our self.

come on gang keep voting to get this on our sites and this one aswell im sick of pm's that are all spam

and members should read the rules before posting .....

~Ape~

An awesome idea, especially the automatic feature. Would save a lot of time waiting for an admin or mod to act on it.

YES definitely!! so that any member who receives a spam pm - has an immediate and quick facility for reporting it.

Cas

That would be the best idea. Voted yes for security.

yes

We need this for sure!

Yes!

I vote yes 100% I couldn't see any reason as to why not have it unless there are Spammers.

Yea good idea but some people just delete their "Report Abuse" wouldent that get your forum deleted?
