Feature Request: Reporting PMs?

syndalis

In those moments where someone PMs you something completely untoward or unwanted, is there any way to effectively report it without having to include a moderator in the conversation and making it obvious of what you are doing?

I mean, if not we can keep doing it the way we are, but I did kind of open myself up to abuse from a famous troll by reporting them in our current system, and he decided to use it to call me some awful shit.

Moderators can see PM threads already, so you could probably just PM a mod and ask them to take a look.

Or just add a mod to the conversation. That seemed to work when I got one...

He specifically wanted a way without having to do that, since that alerts the other person to you reporting them.

If you PM a mod they can take care of it.

For the record, moderators can't read your PMs and I can't forsee of a future where they can. Admins can check PMs in cases where abuse is reported.

Good enough. So long as there is a way for someone to see it without having to copy/paste or include the mod in the chat, I'll just PM the mods and let them filter it to the admins as needed.

I can't imagine this is a very common situation.
