~ Rethinking the Private Message Feature ~

Edited on Tue May-12-09 02:26 PM by Tuesday Afternoon DU has most generously provided us with a nifty little feature, easily accessible and available to us all, widely known by its acronym: PM. When and why do you choose to use it? Do you think you use it wisely and judiciously? Are you prudent with it? Stingy? What say you about this outstanding feature?

1. I use it all the time to send stuff to people that I don't want to post

on the boards. Like my email, phone number, stuff like that. I get a lot of requests via PM as well. Professional and personal ones.

2. You can't call out people, so it is nice to talk about them behind their back!

Edited on Tue May-12-09 02:28 PM by Shell Beau :P Kidding (sort of). I do use it. Usually it is to discuss some crazy posts, etc.

I would think some of these shout outs to other Members would be better suited as PM's, but perhaps that is just me :shrug:

51. I use it rarely,

though I did use it today. I usually use it to tell someone I liked their thread or their position, but not always. I would say rarely. I think it is a good feature; I say that with one caveat: Those who use it to attack when their own PM is disabled are the worst kind of cowards. Period.

80. only a few times- to praise someone's post , or thank them for kind words about one of mine

Edited on Tue May-12-09 10:44 PM by abq e streeter add to that an exchange of a couple with someone who had gone through a similar crisis as I was then going through, and a couple to a DUer whose car had broken down after a meet up, offering transportation assistance. Never have or would use this feature for anything negative...ever...

84. It's a great feature!

Sometimes I'll use it when I want to share experiences with one person that I'd rather not make available to the general public...especially freepers who may be lurking. And sometimes I use it to reply to someone who has posted in one of my threads without dredging the thread up again. PMs are also useful when you want to find out how someone is doing, since they might not notice a thread devoted to their concern. It's hard to ignore that red flashing sign that alerts you to new messages. :hi:

103. I generally use it whenever I want to try to buy marijuana on the web. And I've concluded

it's a crappy feature that really just doesn't work
