Aw man, you mean I can't send scary stories to random people?? Now my week is ruined.
Please direct all these PMs to me
This is kind of random but have you ever read "2 sentence scary stories"? There is one that really freaks me out. It goes: Lately I have been having to clean fingerprints off the outside of my window every morning. I live on the 3rd floor.
Not sure why but it gives me the creeps.
I love those.

Oh I love those stories! My fave is: You hear your mom calling you into the kitchen. As you are heading down the stairs you hear a whisper from the closet saying "Don't go down there honey, I heard it too."5 -

This is what I would prefer:
If you want to sell something don't PM.
If you want to criticize someone's lifestyle or eating habits don't PM.
If you want to exchange pictures or flirt don't PM. Not a dating site.
If you want to ask a question that is relavent to a discussion post in the thread or start a new thread about the point in question.
If you want to ask a specific question unrelated to a discussion or offer some personal supportive message then PM. If someone replies positively to your message it is pretty nice to acknowledge that. Like if you called someone and asked a question and got an answer you'd say thanks before hanging up.
If you want to add a friend it is nice to send a message introducing yourself.3 -

Thanks for doing that @elphie754. I was going to ask for more but didn't want to derail.
Cheers, h.0 -
You can't send a "private message" to a person online and trust it to stay private.
If it can be copied and pasted to a public discussion with @abbefaria4 as the author and you can then see it and you can be pleased that the whole world can see it, then it's probably ok.

I would add not to send unsolicited advice via PM. I had a "friend" that would comment on my diary and tell me that I could improve my weight loss by eating the way that she did. I didn't ask for help and don't believe that her advice was helpful anyways. Very annoying.2

I love getting messages and supporting one another. But please please no talk about anything sexual!0

Thanks. Now I have creeps too. And I’m wondering how one would get to the outside of those wi Dow’s to clean them.0

I have to ask, an actual duck or is this a typo?
ETA: if someone wanted to PM pictures of ducks I probably wouldn't mind, otherwise I'm not a fan of PMs!9 -
Civil, Respectful, and appropriate.
Also, If it could have been included in part of the flow of conversation in the thread, include it.
If it's a random tangent or specific detailed question, NBD. Although I still prefer to keep it public, since other people might be interested in the flow.
Yeah, and no Junk pictures...

It's all I've got so ppbbbbbhhhhh!!!!!!0 -
As long as the messages are not about the things I listed I'm not here for in my profile I'm good.
Here is my list.
Things I'm not here for, MLM schemes, Dating, "Clean eating" ,body shaming, diet shaming, Bro Science, Dating.
If you send a message about any of ^^^^^ I ignore. I don't check messages often. I just come here to log my food and look in here to help myself stay on track and motivated. sometimes it takes a while for me to get back to people as I don't use the social aspect of my home page much.
