I always seem to get nervous whenever the little window pops up in the corner and it says you have a new private message lately. The first thing that comes to my mind is "Oh Shit, I probably did something wrong". Yeah, i've gotten in trouble here a couple of times... little misdimeanors, nothing big. I guess it's now a force of habit for me to think i'm in trouble.

I hate being paranoid. http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_no.gif

*nods* Same here. I never got in trouble here, or that many other places, but I still get nervous when I have a new message, and I usually put it off for several days.

i guess if you get a bunch of bad pm, youll hate seeing new ones. though they really cant harm you can they?
i usually never get pms now so im glad to get them. but when i did get them, the were usually people telling a bunch of odd stuff.

Hmmm, can't say that I any problems getting new messages. I could understand if that's how someone told you you got in trouble and maybe you're on the borderline. Sure. A PM could be something you wouldn't want to see. You don't want it to be the last thing you see.

I see a PM box and I click it

although once when a friend was saying stuff in my PM I was a little scared to check it

I didn't want to start flaming him back

I have no complaints about the PM system. I've only gotten 1 PM in the entire time I've been using these boards.

Stop being a trouble-maker and stop getting in trouble and you won't have that problem! Hehe, j/k.

When I get a PM, I'm normally happy about it because that means someone cares about me http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif. Or, in one or two cases, it's some random person I don't know making some random comment I don't care about.

My PMs are normaly people asking me to do something.

Never "Hello, how are you? How was your day?". Only "Can you lock/move/delete this topic for me?".

After reading that, I was considering PMing Frink,

Hello, how are you? How was your day?"

but I decided against it.

I have many PMs and 1/3 of them are from Mods yelling at me for something....(mostly Abdur)

The other 1/3 are people who think they are tough and argue with me......not smart.

The last 1/3 are people who just wanna talk get to know.....mostly the females of PSOW......*nervous laughter*

I sent you a PM once Frink. Something about what is the definition of a sandwich. Could that fall into the how are you category.

Just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get me.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat with frink. All it ever is, "move, lock, delete, watch out for this, keep an eye on, sig too big". Not that I don't mind, thats why I'm a mod, but damnit people, do you not realise I am a human being!? Will none of you ever just pm and show interest in the person behind the personality?!


...wait, no, nevermind, maybe it's better this way. You are all only allowed to look at me as an authority figure out to squash your hopes and dreams and to belittle you. =]

It's ok, all I ever get are those MOD-ALERTS, and i've had a couple people comment on my sig image (and how can you resist http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

But you know what the scariest thing is? When you get a PM from a Mod... and the opening line is "Just letting you know..." or "Just so you know..." etc... Then you KNOW you're fucked http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Yes, see how that works is, you get two pm's and you think "Oh happy days! I am noticed!" and then you goto your Inbox, all giddy and such, and bam! You're slapped with the reality that it was just a double-sent pm from the same damn person, and me no less! =]

http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif I remember Saladwood giving me a couple of warnings. I also recall getting a welcome PM from another mod (I think it was Bit?- back in summer '03) that asked me if my name was a plural of "Nazi" and said that it was better that I check it out...


Bit, was that you? http://www.pso-world.com/psoworld/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_confused.gif
