Profile posts are no private messages

Hi there everybody,

if we click on a user name then it might seem that we can write a personal message to that user into a field. However please note that this is the field for a profile post and the message will be seen by everybody on the front page! However the adressee might never read it ...

If you want to write private messages then please click on "PM Inbox" in the right upper corner of the forum. Click on the "Start a new conversation" button and enter the user name into the adress field.

Alternatively you can click on a user name and then on "Start a Conversation".

Thank you.

Why did my post get deleted??

<<Mod EDIT>> We can't unerase the original, but the best we can do is repost it here:

post that are a profile, freestyle
li'l vile
is no trial
not fertile, meanwhile
feelin' senile
eat'n crocodile
's my lifestyle
wear the argyle
dance in the aisle
stockpile the new style
run a mile
be so juvenile, single file
less hostile

A wise man once told me: "Profile posts are no private messages"

hit the turnstile of life, make it worthwhile, smile

You are correct mr. mod, my apologies. Not all of my posts are gems, or even very good, or worth keeping around. This may well have been better off deleted. Just felt like letting loose a little jam at the time. I should have done a bump or a "+1" I was trying to save someone the embarrassment of posting something sensitive or personal as a profile post because it seems like a constant source of confusion.

Just wanted to know that I was able to post without randomly being censored. I will try to tone it down in all future posts. Back to business!

Then again now that I see my post I feel like I should set these lyrics to a fresh beat and see if anything comes of it....
 
They're at it again...

How about a warning message? The text field for profile posts says "Write something...". Maybe that's a good place for a warning message (in red lettering!)? Or in bigger letters right below that text field?
 
I tried to make a reservation at the library but it was all BOOKED!

Broski, you're hurting me man... I know you're probably going through some IRL stuff or something, but maybe relax a bit and just read instead of post for a few days... you'll probably find you're much more peaceful
 
You're not my broski, broski.

So you disagree with me? Damn, that is a new experience for me. I hijacked nothing. Liquid Sonics defended their copy protection with a long post about it. I replied. I like you and all of your posts. You did make me laugh though.
I like my new name you gave me, actually, but VI won't let me change it. You be you and we be we, OK?
