PMing mods or vets

***JohnnyB*** · 10-16-2005, 06:16 PM

Bros when you PM a mod or vet, when he/she answers, leave the previous message in your response. If you send a PM without the previous message, we might not remember what your first PM was. We talk to more then just you, we can't remember everyone we talk to and what they said. So to make the process quicker, just hit quote, the write your responce.

Don't send a PM asking if you can do a source check, if the mod or vet doesn't want to do them, he/she should have it written in their signature. If you look at mine, it says, I don't answer none secure e-mails and don't ask me for a source.

Nice to have your words in this subject Big Bro! Thanks

Maybe this is just my opinion, but I beleive that common sense dictates that source checks should always be done through secure email in order to protect the source. Possible exceptions are public sources (websites).

Yeah and to add on, be patient waiting for a reply because our in boxes can be quite full. Even if you see by the read receipt that we have read it, we may be looking into matters so don't feel neglected or send us 1000pm asking the same thing. Be patient and your answers will come in time. thanks!

Amen, sometimes I'll ask them to pm me in a couple of days, to remind me, at that time I'll let them know if I know anything or not.
