Dear Forum members,
It has come to our attention on this thread that someone is sending a large number of nuisance private messages to forum members, causing enough upset for people to be put off using the forums. Please remember other forum users have their own issues and problems to deal with and do not exploit the fact that most are kind and caring people by sending large numbers of unwanted messages either to ask for help, or to run people down.
If anyone is in receipt of such messages, please remember that the forum moderators are there to deal with such problems, and the moderators can be private messaged with a copy of the problem pms. We take this extremely seriously, and have banned members for such behaviour in the past.
We are not saying that members shouldn't pm a friend if they are down, or have a problem, or post on the forums for support, but if all your private messages are pleas for help, without ever feeling able to just chat, or offering support yourself, and you feel you need to send a lot of such messages, then it is likely that you need professional help. In that event, please contact the Helplines and/or your health-care professional.
Regards,
Jean123
