 | Private Messaging |  |
I cannot send private messages!
There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you individually from sending messages. If it is the latter case you should try asking the administrator why.

I keep getting unwanted private messages!
You may add the user to your ignore list. Otherwise, if you keep receiving unwanted private messages from someone, inform the board administrator -- they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages at all.

I have received a spamming or abusive email from someone on this board!
We are sorry to hear that. The email form feature of this board includes safeguards to try to track users who send such posts. You should email the board administrator with a full copy of the email you received and it is very important this include the headers (these list details of the user that sent the email). They can then take action.

What are the PM boxes?
Inbox: All messages which have been addressed to you. An orange icon indicates messages which you have yet to read. An icon with a small arrow indicates messages to which you have replied.
Sentbox: All messages you have sent which have been read by the recipient. They are saved here for your convenience.
Awaiting Pickup: All messages you have sent which have not been read by the recipient. They may be edited or deleted.
Savebox: You may use this box if you wish to save messages from your Inbox and/or Sentbox.

| Reporting Private Messages | |
How and when should I report content?
If ever you should encounter objectionable content, simply locate the nearest report link to notify the Mac GUI City Moderators about it. Providing you have filled out an accurate report and the content does not belong, then appropriate action shall be taken. Take care not to file too many inaccurate reports; it will lead to trouble for you.

What to do when someone's breaking the rules
We encourage you to speak out when you're offended or when you believe someone is breaking the rules for Mac GUI City. In most of the important ways, you are Mac GUI City, so if something bothers you in one of the conference or discussion areas, speak up.
However, if you've voiced your concerns and nothing is changing, or you simply don't feel comfortable telling someone else how you feel, help is just a quick email or PM away.
You can, at any time, send a Private Message (PM) to Dog Cow, or any other online administrator or Mac GUI Moderator. Someone will come online to see what can be done to help. Whenever possible, copy the text of the problematic message or conference and paste it into an e-mail message to mgc@macgui.com The more information you give, the more quickly someone can assess the situation.
Remember, the administrators and moderators are here to help, so call on them if you need an official presence.
