I think Pm ban for a couple of weeks might just work fine.

I just think there is a better way to control PMs from people that abuse it's use for harassment. |

you are probably right (would not want to propose such a thing without well agreement anyway,.. we dont want to kill this beatifull site :) ) Maybe a point-system? Now you can only put to ignore or report which is quite a large threshold. Maybe something like a "penalty" button. --> not immidiately "lethal" but giving warning. (and then that button should activate a message to the trol that he has a penalty, 3 penalties will mean ban, not saying from who and so on) note: on age-limit: yes, woudl be good... but how??? i also appreciate that coudl apply completely anynomously certain countries: also, probably true,... but some good guys from those countries we probably definitely want. pfeew,,,. maybe just live with it. a quick standard (customizable) fuckoff message button is probably still a nice thing.. |

Sounds like a shit ton of work but PM is a big part of the issue regarding harassment and aggression by members. |

I love the mods and admins, don't get me wrong. They work tremendously hard to keep this site alive and safe and I respect that, but I feel there should be active getDare staff that addresses certain issues that downplay the potential of the site. |

"Person Above" threads are not a major thread that requires a ton of attention. Rules that are created by the OPer aren't truly an issue that needs to be addressed by getDare staff, but needs to be addressed by the OPer if the issue continues. getDare staff will step in if they proceed to disrupt the thread, ultimately trash-can it. |

You can also attach a screenshot od the PM. But that wouldn't tell mods if it's a regular habit. Said that, in my opinion giving admins permission to read one person's PM's(they probably had it if they wanted to) even if he/she is breaking the rules, is a huge privacy infringement and would drive people away either way....

I'm not saying that every getDare staff can access every users' PMs whenever they wish, but if an issue arises that needs to be addressed through a PM, the user reporting it should be willing to allow the staff member to access their PMs to confront the issue at hand. Privacy infringement should not be an issue if the user consents to sharing the PM with the staff member to confront an issue that is arising in PMs. Private messaging is a part of the site and the rules apply there as well. You cannot use PMs to abuse the rules of the site and expect to get away with it. |
While I think that offering more temporary bans or ignoring options are effective, I think that it is a temporary fix to the whole situation.
As more people continue to visit the site and newer members get interested, the problem still remains: people won't check the guidelines, read the robot-generated introduction PM, or are unaware of their actions. I think that if the community as a whole must raise awareness of the current situation. Threads like this helps those who are unaware such as I. Unfortunately, I do not have a possible solution for those who harass via pm and/or ignore the limits and dislikes in the signature. I think those types of people would have disregarded the rules anyways and use anonymity as their advantage. |

Ignoring the limits within signatures is an issue, but is not huge. They can easily be confronted by saying "___ is a limit of mine" and reject the dare/task/etc. Harassment through PMs is becoming more of an issue each day and is affecting peoples' view of the site I'm afraid. (Hence, why this thread was created, regarding most women of the site quitting.) |
