RAGE!

I am fed up. When ever I sign in on msn I have a moderator talking to me NONE STOP. I'm like amg.

I would just block :/ But I feel that's mean.

 

Put yourself either on Appear Offline, or Busy/Away

I know what you mean, and I just ended up blocking them

 

Me too. I had to use appear offline for a while, every time I logged in, i got hassled by a member of our forum.A couple of times I used the offline to check whether she was on and then switched to online, the problem was she started using appear offline too so collared me everytime:doh:

Thankfully she got bored of fish and moved on from our forum.

 

The "Appear Offline" function is a thing of beauty.

 

Ahahahaha

 

I rarely ever sign into either of my IM clients (MSN & AIM) - usually by 'appointment' only (when somebody tells me to get on or I need to urgently contact somebody) but when I do, I log in invisibly almost every single time.

I have all kinds of people that will annoy me wanting a response - members of my forum, members of other forums I frequent, etc.
They don't understand that the lack of a response from me means I'm not interested in (or unable to) talk with them and to leave me alone.

That's really your only viable solution here.

 

I hate it when I sign in. "Hi can I be staff"

or the best one I have had is "Hi I will pay you if you make me a admin"

 

I can't say that I've heard that before. :lol:

 

I haven't heard that either, but can imagine what it's like. In that case, you have the option of blocking them - which I would not be hesitant to do.

 

Sometimes it is fun to read what they are saying.

 

Meh, I prefer not to waste precious time reading such silly whines. :p

 

Do you tend to find that the members that participate in such harassing activities are quite young?

 

I've never experienced this, but I'd assume they are youngsters.

 

... and I'm talking very young - younger than 13 years of age.

 

LOL, I once admin'd a forum where it turned out that the average age of the staff was 14. One thing led to another, shit hit the fan, and one of the admin's moms made him step down and took away his internet.

I hate working with kids.

 

I wouldn't expect them to be much younger than that.

Besides, if I knew I had a 12-year-or-younger member, I'd ban them until they properly comply with COPPA procedures.

 

That's pretty funny, actually. :lol:
"His mom made him step down" :lmao:

 

Wait. How old are you lot?

 

Take a guess.

His mother made him "step down" - that's great.

 

You sound surprised. :lol:

What he said.
