I got the same message from him. What I find strange is that he apparently cut and pasted an excerpt from his introductory post and sent it out as a PM to multiple receivers. And he entitled the PM u sound some what like me and i do love new things. Um ... do I really sound somewhat like him?

I got one from him too. It freaked me out. I'm glad I'm not the only one. Totally out of line and not cool.
Same here. I responded, because the topic was "Great Post" or something like that, but I have yet to receive a reply.

You will all have to excuse my noob-ish-ness ... but is there any way to not get PMs from this guy, or similar folks, again?

there's an ignore function on this site. that should do it.

Unfortunately I received a similar pm from him earlier. It's seemingly harmless but annoying nonetheless.

I have never received anything like that either. In fact, I haven't received PMs from anyone but the people that I have messaged first.

I wonder if this has to do with the type of profile that people are seeing.
I used to have pics of myself on ratemyschlong, and I would get several horny PMs weekly (though not as bad as the one SomeGuyOverThere got). On the other hand, there are no pics of myself on LPSG, and I have not listed my age or my location. I could even have a small dick and lie about my size for all you know :wink:. Result: not a single unwanted PM so far. Keeping a low profile may be a way to avoid attracting the attention of spammers/lurkers/trolls.

So you are recommending boring them to death? :rolleyes:

Well, I hope I'm not too boring for other LPSG members, but I don't mind too much being boring on the Internet as long as my real life is interesting and exciting... I don't feel the need to create a larger-than-life Internet persona, if you see what I mean...

Yeah, it seems that the guy PM'd guys with overly endowed penises (Oh, I forgot this is LPSG.org--The Large Penis Support Group). Yeah, guy didn't have manners. Yeah, the guy didn't have a lot of tact. I think that he was netfishing for cock with the PM's and on other sites. At least, he had to have had some taste for selecting you guys for individual PM's.

I guess if he didn't have manners and tact. You guys in turn didn't either by putting his PM he sent to you in a thread. You could've sent him back his PM and told him you weren't interested. If the guy still didn't respect your space, then you could talk with Rob, LPSG's head honcho, about some better measures.

I guess that is part of the occupational hazard of putting your pics up and/or penis size stats. To people who post their receptions of a sender's PM (PRIVATE messages) PUBLICLY to make an EXAMPLE out of the sender. Not only hurts the sender but the receiver as well. Someone's PRIVATE message sent to you should REMAIN PRIVATE with you and the sender unless they request otherwise.

In my book, a private message is only a private message if it's been written individually to one person. In this case, we're just looking at spam. Spam that the spammer has already started his own thread with, and which therefore shouldn't additionally be cluttering up people's inboxes. Spam, I say. Spam.

cobra,

I think we have an issue that should be addressed though. Lately, we take it for granted that it is our fault personally if we put up information about ourselves that leads to nasty pm's. Face it, this site is a support group that should be here as a beacon of freedom for those that are a part of it. When lurkers force active members that form the true core of this site to step back and hide who they are, then this site becomes weaker. All of us here posting in this thread represent the nexus of what LPSG has become. Without us, the site fades away and dies. If we are forced to withdraw bit by bit, what remains to happen is inevitable.

Altairion,

This is an interesting and well-thought post. I agree with you mostly. The only thing I would add is that you can keep a low profile (and thus avoid spammers/lurkers) but divulge details about yourself through PMs, chatting, etc..., to people whom you have come to trust. So LPSG does not necessarily become weaker in that regard. Ultimately, it is every member's choice whether to post pictures and/or loudly proclaim his size (which, as invisibleman also remarked, may attract some unwanted attention), or to remain discreet and reveal bits of personal information to selected members through PMs or chat.

I understand it ain't so funny for those of you who've received unsolicited PMs, but holy crap that shit is hysterical

The PM guy was colorful with the language, eh? Kinda reminded me of those lyrics Prince used to pen back in the day.

What I want to know is why he PM's ME?!?!---I sure as hell don;t have a big cock :p I think the lesson is to read people's profiles :D
