How to pm a member


I’m so embarrassed to say I’ve been here 20 years and although I’ve responded to countless pms over the years I’ve never tried to pm someone myself.  Now I’m trying to do so and I have to ask — WHY CANT I EFFING FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO IT AND WHT IT IS IT SO OBSCURE???  Sorry.

unreal.

 

if you do pm a member, you can not do the following as the filter audiogon uses will block it:

 

can’t send links / or email address

can’t use the word : phone, email, call

i think the whole thing of this is ridiculous, regarding what words  you cant use when sending a pm to someone and i have gone around and around with tammy on this.             the reason is they are trying to stop off line transactions from happening, which i get.....but just as you mentioned, how hard is it to simply space out the email address and the person on the other end can figure it out ?  but they still dont get it.

what is really frustrating is when you pm a member and they say they are looking for a particular something and you know where they can find it, but then  you cant send them the link because the system [ filters ] it.           

even just general chat via pm is a challenge as its so easy to use those words and of course they are filtered and when the other person gets the emai , all they see is [ filter] , [ filter]     .

If you want to send a link or email, spell things phonetically. So, if you have gmail, write something like, "you can electronically reach me at bobat geemail" and tell your recipient to convert it back to normal when they actually write you.

which is pretty much what i said
