The Essex Hunter Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Having been on PW for some time, I am a little perplexed, as to why people post, that they have sent a personal message to the person who is on that particular forum. There is no need to state you have made a PM to that person, as they will see it in his or hers inbox. I can only assume this is a way of increasing their over exaggerated post tally TEH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markio Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Seen this a lot in the Sales section. i can only assume it's to broadcast the "I got there first". Maybe, at a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apache Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think it's helpful in sales threads in terms of who got in there first. Sometimes things are better taken to PM's and a poster may be seen as ignorant not replying to a direct question, but 'I'll PM you' clarifies things. Also some don't seem to get there!

njc110381 Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I think in the for sales section it lets others know that you've already been in contact. There are after all a lot of cases of "I posted first" etc so it does cover you for that. Why people can't just take the sellers word for it I don't know? I tried to buy some dies yesterday and posted first on the thread, but someone had already beat me to it. Perhaps a "PM sent regarding dies" would have saved me the bother? Who cares? The seller said they'd already gone so I was too slow. Oh well, never mind! It's all good, why get worked up over it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MM Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Not everyone has the pop up enabled, so that when they log in, a box appears informing them they have a PM. Some people just go straight to the thread to see what replies have been made, and only then are they made aware someone has been trying to contact them.

jacksdad Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 I was going to post on here but that would be silly.... On my car forum, someone actually started an 'off topic' post about the most prolific post poster getting a prize or such! What a load of bull, who cares ?
