| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  |

| | Private Messaging System Adjustment Made I have made an adjustment to the private messaging system, where "moderated members" are now no longer able to use the PM system. It is for registered members and above, which now avoids those with little to no intent other than to cause trouble and make strife, no more avenues in which to do it unless becoming a registered member, meaning they have been moderated for validity first. |

| | I am sad to see that the PM ability is lost to new moderated members....If I couldn't have PM'd you I doubt that I would have had the courage to get going on all my PTSD issues....I know that the PM service has been misused especially recently and can understand the issues involved....just sad to see it abused and to be discontinued....GIVE PEACE A CHANCE |

| | Well, considering Wilds question. I would think moderated members could still PM moderators. Can they, Anthony? |

| | Nope... If a moderated member need contact an editor, they simply use the forum contact form to do so or post it for other to read. It is sad wildfire, though people abuse it, so what choices do I have really? |

| | I agree it is sad, however all of the unpleasant messages I have received as Carers editor came from moderated members. None were "full" members. So unfortunately it does seem there is little choice, unless one wants to continue receiving such messages on a regular basis. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
