Annoyance Via PM

[AFO]

Dear members,

A few members have indicated several pestering PM's of late. Sending PM's on this site in relation to just about anything is encouraged and thus the facility to so is provided. However these complaints seem isolated around a serial pest taking things to PM with the knowledge they will be ignored in the main Forum itself. Please feel free to inform us (Via PM to this account) if you have received persistent, unsolicited messages from any account. One off messages will for the most part be tolerated, unless of course strongly offensive in nature, but repeat pestering to the point of just being a plain nuisance, will not.

To anyone considering pestering members by PM. They will report you. You will be warned and if required removed from this site. You only get one chance "to be you" here. Banned members have in the past snuck back to become eternal lurkers, and we know for a fact several have since matured and regretted their actions. This is a community that offers far more than a few forum posts, however banned members are entitled to none of the additional benefits. Think hard NOW at what you may miss in the future.

Can I also add that if someone is freely giving you some fishing related advice via pm that you be patient in waiting for a reply and not pester for a response because you haven't received a reply quick enough for your liking.

Cheers
