Great sierra! I just made this so if they see they stop.

Yeah i don't think it's gonna stop, but it can be lessened, the best thing we can do is reply to them nicely that it doesn't work, that is a message created for spam purposes and delete the comment if everybody can see it, so other people don't copy-paste the message to others.

Another annoyance that I do turn them in is the:

"I sell dolls.." Pms

I get so many of the "send this to 10/100 dollz and press ......." that I just send that message instead of filling up the message boxes of the mods.  9 times out of ten when I send them that message (that I put in a post above) they reply with, "I'm so sorry, I didn't know.  I won't do it again."  Whether they stop or not, I can't be sure.  Maybe I'm wrong, I probaby am... I just hate to bother a mod with that type of thing.

I got a message today about selling dolls.  I reported it via the 'report abuse' button. And visited their page to see they added me as a friend. Um...I really don't like the idea that someone who is breaking the rules (whether they know they are or not) has decided I am their friend.

I was also upset to see how many people have innappropriate names on the site. Again I reported them but what's to stop them or others from making more dolls. 

I come on OMD to get away from the rude, cursing world that surrounds us today. It saddens me to see bad language, stupid chain mail and people breaking the rules.

I have not had the chance yet to report her but ----- is claiming to be "selling" dolls. If anybody wants to report, please do so. I would if I was on my doll but I'm not because my forum is separate from my doll on my iPod.

I've edited it first. I'm gonna report her when I get the chance. I'm also tired of the "post to 10 dollz..." I don't get it much anymore but I know it's been around longer than year. I've gotten that since MDD. So 3 years for. I either tell them it doesn't work or prove it to them. (I didn't know it was against the rules...sorry.)

When you folks report players with inappropriate names, what do you submit the report under? I've always selected the "this page contains pornographic content/text" option b/c it seems to be the closest thing to what I'm trying to report. I wish you could enter in a text box of what you're actually reporting.

That is what I usually choose, but I also copy the URL of their page and send it to one of the mods.  It seems things get noticed quicker from the mods vs "submitting a report an abuser"

I also use that choice when "report an abuse" if they have the "F" word plastered all over their page.  "Freedom of Speach" doesn't include the right to use foul language.  And although this is the US site, it's not governed by the US laws (hence, the mention of "freedom of speach"). 

So come on all you girls young and old... stop using foul language on your page: it is NOT attractive and will not attract friends.

Thank you for the report Malu.  We are dealing with the situation.  We do prefer to keep issues private,  a general discussion of whats bothering you all is fine, but do not mention names.

That's exactly what I've done today to one of them. I answered her back almost like Sierradane, I hope that alright with you. I've reported their page, because the WIA has the "selling dolls" on it, the message the person sent, and I've sent the message to 2 mods hoping that something could be stopped. Did I do the right thing?

I don't mind. 

I think that in this sitution, it throws the person if you actually reply back in a manner that isn't:  "Yes!  I want to buy a doll!" 

This particular individual has been online all day and I will be glad when they are banned.

She got to me too. I played around with her and said that why she would want a doll. I told her take a gift instead. She replied back saying okay and I wrote a long pm saying that it's against the rules and if she thinks it'll do anything for her she's wrong. I told her she might get banned soon and I gave her a list of mods and a link to this post
I haven't gotten a pm back yet but I know she read it.

*Sigh* and here I was about to write that I didn't get this problem. Except once before. I haven't reported her yet because I think she's been reported too many times.

Honestly? I'll be happy if she gets banned.

Let's hope she looks and sees. Maybe she'll stop.
