Basically, if you put someone on ignore, and then respond to their PMs with a clear request for them no longer to PM you, if they continue to PM you you can have them up in front of Tom for harrassment. The system relies, of course, on people being prepared to abide by it - if they aren't, they could, for example, try to register a new suit to get around being ignored. Persistently ignoring somebody's right to ignore you, or not to be PMed by you, is generally a pretty good way to get censured, broadly dissed and ultimately possibly banned. I think there's a couple of examples of this...

Thank you Haus.

It is just a complete pain in the arse to have to even read some people's PMs in the first place, and I really didn't want to have to involve anyone else in my personal dilemnas. I have had a couple of PMs that I really could have done without that have caused me a lot of grief.

Can’t you simply delete them unread? The same as with any other email you don’t want? Surely a PM doesn’t count as received until it’s opened and read.

Yep BD, that is an option. I suppose I should give warning tht any future PMs to me will be deleted unread, and I would like them to stop PMing me.
