The material presented
here is not Al-Anon Conference Approved Literature. It is a method
to exchange
information, ideas, feelings, problems and solutions on a personal
level.
Is there a way of blocking private messages on here? I looked on my profile settings and there is no option. I only want to receive responses on the board.
I looked and it looks like the best thing to do is check settings, then go to where it says to be notified of pms, just check no.Then if you even get them you won't be notified. And/or just don't look into your inbox.
It may be this way as we do have to contact people in pm sometimes. We have things that we don't want to discuss in public.
I will tell you if we need to contact you, we could tell you on the board, so you csn pm us. Or if you have a problem you can pm us.
We sometimes have to edit things, and I know I like to give the member a heads up so they know their post was edited.
I also looked on settings and all it says is about being notified by email of private messages and i have checked no.
I get notified on the site and I dont want to be private messaged anymore by people on here. I only want people to be able to contact me via the board.
I do not see the point. Whatever people have to say to me can be said on the Board. That way, you get lots more responses from other people rather than just one
I hate that you feel that private messages are "harrassing"
For me, it was a way that someone could share a personal experience they have been thru maybe similiar to mine - that maybe they were not ready to share with the entire board.
There is a slogan that is used often in recovery - "Take what you like and leave the rest"
I believe that you can delete the message if it makes you uncomfortable.
Maybe by posting this thread - your pm's will stop.
Hope you have a wonderful day in recovery! HUGS, Rita
