How often to you have to warn your members about something. I have one member in particular who is very persistant about post exchanges, and at this point it is driving me up the wall. She'll send me PMs with "Please do 2 more on my forum" or "Please do 5 more on my forum". I'm running out of topic ideas on her forum, plus I have other forums to visit as well. The way she's being demanding, you'd swear that the internet world revolves around her and her forum and it doesn't. She has two more strikes and if she's persistant like that again, she's out for a temp. ban, and if she keeps at it, it'll be a permanent ban. I have 30 other members to think of and I don't have time to be running back and forth to her forum. She makes it sound like her forum is the only one on the Net and it's not. Have you ever had to deal with members like this?
 
If you don't wish to ban her, just refuse her requests if it bugs you so much.

Otherwise, you should ban her if it isn't too discomforting.

Not yet, but I would probably cuss 'em out... '._.


I really think it's best to just give them 3 warnings and then do the temp. ban, and if they're still persistant, then a permanent ban. I don't think swearing at them would be necessary. It just makes me mad because I'm active at half a dozen other sites, I have 30 other members to think of on my own forum, and she did apologize by the way. I'm not taking her warning off though, as I feel she did deserve it.

We've discussed this. 😀 But, if it happened to me I would just restrict their PM's and place moderation on their account.

This just helps your forum. It should be welcomed


Don't get me wrong, I love doing post exchanges, especially if it's with a forum I've never heard of, but as far as people pestering me to keep posting at their forum when I do have other things to do, that's a nother story.
 
Did you complete the exchange? If so then the exchange is done, tell her this and that you dont wish to post any more.
