Change your aftershaveOriginally Posted by Elite_Pie

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop another poster sending private messages?
I'm not talking about the 'block' facility where you don't see posts on the main board, just something to stop them sending PMs. I have repeatedly told laddo I do not wish to receive any PMs from he, but he still insists on sending them.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Stop being do seductive, I think your body language is sending him the wrong signals.Stop playing with your hair, dont flutter your eyelashes at him and stop licking your lips when looking in the direction of the said gentleman..!
Hopefully this is the answer you seek...xxx

Report him to the moderator is this not harassment?
You can't report him to the hierarchy above the moderator as they don't exist, they never rely to any complaints sent to them, not even to denounce them.

Checked and nowhere does it reference, ''Blocking unwanted PM's'', not that I can see. Swales the man to talk to I would imagine.
If the administrator has enabled the Private Messaging system, registered members may send each other private messages.
How do I send Private Messages?
Private messages work a little like email, but are limited to registered members of this forum. You may be able to include BB code, smilies and images in private messages that you send.
You may send a private message to a member of this forum by clicking the 'Send A Private Message' link in the private messaging section of your user control panel (more info), or by clicking the 'Send a Private Message' link in the drop down menu that appears in a member's posts when you click on their username.
When you send a message, you have the option to save a copy of it in your 'Sent Items' folder.
How do I work with Private Message Folders?
By default, you will have two folders in your private message area. These are the 'Inbox' and the 'Sent' Items folders.
The 'Inbox' folder contains any new messages you receive. It allows you to view all the messages you have received, along with the name of the person who sent it, and the date and time it was sent.
The 'Sent Items' folder contains a copy of any messages that you have sent, where you have specified that you wish to keep a copy for future reference.
You can create additional folders for your messages by clicking the 'Edit Folders' link.
Each folder has a set of message controls which allow you to select messages, then either move them to one of your custom folders, or delete them. Once you have selected your messages, you can choose the following options in the 'Selected Messages' box at the bottom of the list:
Move to Folder
Delete
Mark as Read
Mark as Unread
Download as XML
Download as CSV
Download as TEXT
You will need to periodically delete old messages, as the administrator has probably set a limit to the number of private messages you can have in your folders. If you exceed this number, you will not be able to send or receive new messages until you delete some old ones.
If you would like to keep a record of your messages before you delete them, you can use any of the 'Download as..' options listed above to take a copy and store them on your own computer.
Whenever you read a message, you will have the option to reply or forward it to another member of the forum. You may also have the ability to forward that message to multiple members of your contact list.
How do I track messages?
When you send a new private message, you may have the option to request a read-receipt. This lets you check whether or not a message has been read by its recipient. To do this, go to the 'Message Tracking' page.
This page is divided into two sections: unread and read messages.
The unread messages section shows all messages that you have sent with a read-receipt request, that have not yet been read by their recipient.
The read messages section shows all messages you have sent with a receipt request that have been read and acknowledged by their recipient. The time that the message was read is also shown.
You may choose to end the tracking on any message you choose by selecting it and clicking the 'End Tracking' button.
When you receive a message with a read-receipt request, you may have the option to read the message while denying the read-receipt request. To do this, simply click the 'Deny Receipt' link rather than the title of the message, if it appears.

For what it's worth, I've no idea whether it is possible to block PMs from a single member. It seems from the previous post that it may not be. Perhaps the only answer is to refrain from opening them and simply delete them before you're tempted? Probably not what you would ideally like but perhaps the only solution other than politely requesting that they don't send any more, which I'm confident you'll already have tried before resorting to posting this thread.

I'm no expert but I think you can delete a message with just two clicks.
Select message
Delete.
It maybe 3 clicks and you can do it without even reading the message. Either way it would take you 5 seconds max.
Talk about being a drama queen lol.
Failing that send a PM to the moderator he may know more.
Happy to assist.

Orrrrr, the posters who are sending unwanted PM's could just stop doing in? I'm no expert but that = zero clicks at either end.
