You are receiving harassing PMs?
Here’s what to do…

1. Block them.
2. Take a screenshot of the offending messages
3. Send it to me, Admin here

I always investigate, and quickly.
The person sending such messages simply has their account deleted, with immediate effect. Your name is not mentioned.

So there’s no need to put up with this. Simply report it.
Such “problem users” can then be quickly identified and removed.
You’re helping to keep this site a safe place for all.

Thankyou!

Thanks Michael. Is it worth pinning this post for quick and easy reference, if people want to find the link?

Nice! I read about the issue last night and believed you’d be the guy to get in the loop.

Awesome!!!

Everyone should feel safe about any website they use, but more-so especially a site with such a delicate and nurturing subject, such as ABFHeaven is!!

Keep up the good work Michael!!

I have a question for the ladies would you tell the person that bothered you in a dm that they offended you and then bock them…. or would you just block them or would you try to let them make amends provided its something amendable

@titlover, I usually will tell someone when they are being dumb, but let’s be real: most men know when they’re being inappropriate.

I would use this service – If I had made it clear to someone that I was not interested due to age or location etc – sometimes men have found it difficult to understand the words “NO Thank you “ and become abusive.

Hi Michael! Can you do a step by step on how to block.. A lot of weirdos and flakes lately.. just don’t have time for the immaturity.. Men on this site seem to complain ALOT about being blocked/ignored.. they’re bringing it upon themselves..

Hi Cremosa,

To block someone you simply visit their profile page and click the BLOCK button that you see there.
This adds them to your Blocked Members list.
To view that list, go to the Settings tab on your own profile and find Blocked Members. You can unblock someone there if you want to.
