'contact us' at the bottom of the page. ask them to block the sender and they won't be able to send you any more

Thanks Maz, but I want GR to see the contents of this PM, and reprimand the person.

Hi Julia, just copy and paste the content of the PM into your complaint, they'll read it then...

I never get abusive PMs. I get unwanted ones now and then, but not abusive.

I did have a certain person blocked in the past. But, would someone explain to me please, having done this, what if the same person uses one of their other accounts and board names, or, opens another account in yet another name, surely their PM will get through to you, won't it.

I've only ever had to block one person, and that was for harrassment rather than abuse. That person has now come back several times under other accounts.....fortunately they haven't tried to contact me again, if they did, I'd get them blocked again. simples.

Julia, our posts crossed. Yes only PMs from the account being complained about will be blocked, so if a person has another account they can still contact you.

Hi Julia,I'm not sure about reporting abusive PM's, but if you click on "help me" at the top right hand corner you can PM GR from there.

It is alright folk telling you to ignore them,but I for one get upset by being bullied, and will not put up with it from anyone.

Hope you resolve your problem.

they should be ashamed of themselfs . Gr blocked them for me now (well i hope so anyway lol)
Hopefully gr will do the same for you , Its not nice when you get abuse like that .

Thanks all for your imput.
Annina, I have already reported both to GR. I do not get bullied as such, but this person, is renowned for it, on almost every thread she goes on. And, I did not think my contribution to a thread warrented her reply on the thread, nor the PM.

Edit - Will wait to see what GR will do about it.
