Being harrassed

How do you get rid of someone in Private Chat that won't leave you alone and keeps asking for money? I reported it to Alex. But He keeps popping up on private chat it's annoying.

Use your "ignore" option.

Alex got rid of him, but I'm afraid he'll come back with another user name. Is there anything you can do with this kind of stuff?

Use your "ignore" option.

It did not work for private chatting. Thanks

If you have a user name you can block him in your profile.

:o that's crazy, I've never heard of that happening, Tell the beggar to get lost!! but YES, use the ignore option, but also if you reported it to Alex I'm sure he will boot the beggar off and lock his account. sure hope you get some resolution ;)

OR send him My way ...lol I'll give him something for Free and it won't be Money :lol:

I had the same thing happen to me. In the upper right hand corner of the chat window, there is a circle...you can click on block user.

Goodness people are crazy

I'm not sure how it works here, especially on "chat," but I'm a moderator on other boards and we have the ability to block user names, and also individual and ranges of IPs when necessary. A users IP is usually visible to the site's moderators and administrators. If he comes back, just keep Alex informed. I would ignore him. Most jerks crave attention and he may tire of his game if no one is responding.

And Alex to the rescue :)

Weird. I've never been bugged by people asking for money on here. I'd probably just ask them for some back :P

Thanks, That was what I couldn't figure out.

Me either. Maybe they think me being in Australia is too far away? I don't have anyone on a block list either. Never had call to.
