Can I report...

[kotora]

Can I report if someone harassed me in private messages?

I've just received messages from a member "PaPaRatZi" about my "Engrish(?)," but I don't think that is the way to ask me "suit myself"?

AHS Staff, please do something.

Here are the original messages.

[rainydayumi]

oh dont worry, i've already forwarded it to a moderator as well to ask if what i did was an offense. to me i was just helping you out. but whatever, suit yourself.

[rainydayumi]

by the way kotora, i dont think you understand the meaning of suit yourself. its a common english phrase.

suit yourself
informal

an expression used to mean 'do what you want to do'

[Kanzaki]

Can't cry for help when someone's just being a *****, I'm afraid.
Ignore and move on.

[ExodusUK]

Just ignore the h8rs n do ur thing~

[rainydayumi]

yeah you guys will side with her of course but the only hater here is kotora. i tried tohelp her but she responded by being hostile and attacking me. the least i can do is use what she said in my signature.

[waterballoon]

I laughed so badly, but I'm on your side Kotora

[JackieRos]

there is this thing called the ignore list

I don't think people that are on your ignore list can message you.
This is the most and only awesome tool in AHS

[kotora]

I've put him on ignore list already.Thanks a lot! :'o

I know you already did it, but this is really something you should take directly to the staff and not post a thread about. Not only are you posting private and personal conversations (which is really just something no one should ever do. It makes both parties look bad), but it's an inefficient way to get the attention of the staff. We might not see a thread posted in this forum for days, so your question might not be answered right away and the situation would not have been dealt with quickly. This is just for future reference.

^btw. that reminds me of something I wanted to ask. Can the staff see every pm sent without having to do anything about it? like, is every pm sent to you too or something as a record? or do you have to go to a specific person and look at their pms manually? cause idk if i really want to pm anymore if they are as open to the staff like a forum to a casual member.

[zoomzoom]

No, PMs are fully private, hence "private" messages. Because of that, we really don't like to get involved with fights and arguments that are done through PMs.

[sugarbasil]

Yeah, as zoomzoom said, they're completely private. The only way the staff can see a PM is if someone reports it to us. Keep in mind that we literally see everything that was in that PM, so you can't tamper with it.

[Polyrhythm]

I don't understand why everyone is attacking PaPaRatZi...

1. the PM started with "no offense" implying a non-aggressive address.
2. The thread starter is the one with the derogatory banner in his/her signature basically telling people who can't speak what he/she considers English (as in with proper grammar and such) to get the heck out.
3. Was ANY part of PaPaRatZi's message attacking the thread starter? Well, yes, PaPaRatZi corrected his/her grammer but was it a false correction? PaPaRatZi's correction is in the correct tense and even ironic in that this grammar-stuck-up cannot properly construct proper sentences him/herself in the oh so perfect manner he expects of others (not to mention a hasty misinterpretation of the phrase "suit yourself").
4. Really? You need to make a thread asking how to report someone because they corrected your grammar while you yourself are being a jerk about other member's English? What do you think's going to happen? PaPaRatZi's going to get banned from AHS because you felt it was offensive for someone to put you down over a little grammar mistake whereas you yourself put people down all day with that banner of yours? Some class, please.

So what now? Am I also immediately added to block list too because I said some not so nice truths about you? I'm not acquainted with PaPaRatZi and for all I know, he/she could be a total jerkface and someone I might come to dislike. As of right now though, in this case, I don't believe PaPaRatZi did anything wrong.

EDIT: Oh guess I'll never find out what kind of person PaPaRatZi. You seem to have him/her all taken care of. Why don't you make a new signature announcing "All People Who Speak Out Against Me GTFO Or Else I Will Harrass You Until You Leave"? I guess that pretty much makes this thread pointless...

^^The subject was closed and it shouldn't be brought up any further, lest more drama and fighting ensue. Please don't provoke more arguments. Any problems still in the air will and are being handled by the staff. Thanks.

No offence, but that is the stupidest argument I've ever heard.
