How to contact the moderator of this message board?

[independentusa]

How does one contact the moderator on this message board? I received a kind of weird private message offering me a writing position on some blog or something. I do not know if someone hacked the board or if it is legit. Even if legit I would not be interested, but wonder what is going on. This has nothing to do with any posts or messages on this board.

If you want to discuss a PM you've received, look to the bottom right of the PM. You'll see an icon that resembles a warning triangle. Clicking that icon will take you to another screen where you can say what's on your mind. At some point, a moderator will see that message from you.

Do not do what Mycroft said (I suspect you would have guessed that much already, but just in case...). That is the report button.

Use "Contact us" at the bottom right of the main screen. Or just PM one directly.

Seances work..

Or just click on the ID of any moderator and then click on "send private message." This allows you to select the moderator to contact - unless you decide to do this for all moderators. Understand that dungeon masters are NOT moderators. They are unlimited power gods of the basement for which no appeal is even allowed or complaint tolerated. But they irrelevant upstairs and have no power otherwise in general.

With your complaint, though, maybe best to contact the administrator, not a moderator. The administrator is all-powerful IF he wishes to be.

It is my understand if you click on the "report" link (the small triangle on the bottom right of a message), all moderators and dungeon masters see the message - which you may or may not want.

I would just send the moderator a private message or use the Contact Us. You can use the report button below the PM in question and write in your reason for reporting it, that way they can read the message immediately and evaluate the issue.

I think this thread should have been posted in Feedback/Suggestions, not General Politics.

Reporting something doesn't necessarily mean it's bad. You can report a message to simply ask a moderator a question about it.

btw, that "Contact us" button send a message to the site administrator...not to a mod. I wouldn't bother RedAkston with this kind of thing, myself.

Yes, one can PM a mod directly, but then you'll have to include the message you are concerned about if you want the mod to know what you are talking about. Also, the mod you PM may not be on "duty". When you report a message, the message is automatically referenced and whatever mod is on duty will see it.

I think that's the quickest way to getting concerns addressed.

If someone is using the forum for PM marketing or scamming people, I think the admin would be appropriate to contact. He is the final authority if need be for something that extreme and dangerous - and it requires no mod consensus.

That said, if was a PM inviting someone to post on a blog? I see no problem with that. I've been invited by PM to post elsewhere in the past. I declined, but saw it as a compliment, not a threat.

Use the "contact us" button at the bottom right of any page of the forum.

Correction: The Contact Us button sends a message to the mod team as a whole. We all see it, and any of us can act on it. We encourage its use.

Other than that minor detail, you have been great in this thread, thank you much.

The official word:

As Mycroft and others mentioned, if you get an inappropriate PM, either spam advertising or otherwise, use the report post button. If you have any questions, comments, complaints, etc that you think the mod team should be aware of, us the Contact Us button or PM the mod of your choice.

Moderator's Warning:

AS the question is answered, I am going to close this thread before one of our trolls finds it and makes a mess. If you have further questions I can help you with, do not hesitate to PM me.
