How do you get rid of someone in Private Chat that won't leave you alone and keeps asking for money? I reported it to Alex. But He keeps popping up on private chat it's annoying.

Use your "ignore" option.

Alex got rid of him, but I'm afraid he'll come back with another user name. Is there anything you can do with this kind of stuff?

It did not work for private chatting. Thanks

If you have a user name you can block him in your profile.

:o that's crazy, I've never heard of that happening, Tell the beggar to get lost!! but YES, use the ignore option, but also if you reported it to Alex I'm sure he will boot the beggar off and lock his account. sure hope you get some resolution ;)

OR send him My way ...lol I'll give him something for Free and it won't be Money :lol:

Happens all the time- you just have to keep blocking people unfortunately. I have a long list of blocks for this reason and some people I just find rude. :blink:

I had the same thing happen to me. In the upper right hand corner of the chat window, there is a circle...you can click on block user.

I'm not sure how it works here, especially on "chat," but I'm a moderator on other boards and we have the ability to block user names, and also individual and ranges of IPs when necessary. A users IP is usually visible to the site's moderators and administrators. If he comes back, just keep Alex informed. I would ignore him. Most jerks crave attention and he may tire of his game if no one is responding.

This member was banned about 120 seconds after I received the complaint. His IP was blocked as well. If you receive a suspicious private message, please use the REPORT function. If it's in the chat room, please message me directly and block the member by following the suggestions above.

Weird. I've never been bugged by people asking for money on here. I'd probably just ask them for some back :P

Me either. Maybe they think me being in Australia is too far away? I don't have anyone on a block list either. Never had call to.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
