As bo said, contacting the moderators is the right course of action. In the old pm system you can also just mute someone. In the new forum system you cannot block someone from sending you pm's. However if this becomes a problem anyone who refuses a mod request to stop sending harassing emails can be added to a permissions group that is not allowed to send pm's at all. On the off chance this becomes a larger problem I will look into phpbb mod packs that prevent "foe's" from sending you pm's.

I don't know who Drugna is, but I saw that Brad mentioned Drugna on the past page and I was just commenting on the situation with this Drugna guy.

Is this where we discover that demonoverlord was really just draugnar's disguise in reinfiltrating webDip, and after pulling it off has started the process of changing his name incrementally back to the original?

Ha! You never had me fooled!

Octavious, please stop saying D****nar's name. It's against site policy to mention that person.

We're talking about Durganar. No relation. I think she used to be called Durmon Overlurd.

My apologies for mentioning D who must not be named. I shall stand in front of a mirror yelling "YouCantHandleTheTruth" until I learn my lesson.

For those concerned about the lack of muting PM's, I spent a few seconds perusing my account settings and found that you can set your PM box to have special rules. Under private messages, go to the "Rules, folders & settings" tab, and under "ADD NEW RULE" you can set "If sender is foe delete message" which means if you add someone as a foe with this rule added, any PM they send to you is automatically deleted.

I wanted to make the new forum auto change D*#$%#!# to "He who must not be named" with censor rules, but the mod team didn't think it was a good idea. :(

Obviously you need to change "That is not a good idea." to "That is a good idea." secretly first.

Hey Bo - thanks for the offer, but he has since ceased from sending further messages, so I'll leave it at that.

@ Brainbomb - yes he just messaged me out of the blue again and it took me a day or so to realise who it was. I burst out laughing, threw some choice epithets back at him, and poked him a bit. It was when he said HE would report ME that out of curiosity I put this post up.

Perhaps he is mad for betting 150 points in a game in which he lost and that brainbomb was playing and didn't. Serves him right for being so Durga-dumb.

I don't really think it's appropriate to disclose who it was on the forum Wusti. If you have a problem with it then you need to let the mods handle it, not disclose their name to allow a witch hunt. Just my view as a member, but I view it as the same type of thing we're trying to avoid by not allowing multi accusations.
