Hobbyists,
If you get a message from me and you don't want my services, then do not threaten me in anyway, shape or form. That's uncalled for. It could be considered a "THREAT". And I don't care if I get arrested but I will report you. Just say "I DON"T WANT YOUR SERVICES". No matter how many times you have to do so.
pro tip: don't spam people.
are you that desperate for clients?
NOT cool!
Regardless if I am desperate or not. It does not mean that a hobbyist should be real nasty and threaten a Provider in any way, shape &/or form. All the hobbyist has to do is block the Provider for good.
This seems like a message for whoever did this to you, not everyone on the TER board.
You can’t have someone arrested for saying “No”.
She didn’t say she would have anyone arrested. She alleged that someone threatened her and she is saying that she will report them for threatening her. She doesn’t care if said reporting ends up with HER getting arrested, presumably because it would come out in the report that she’s a SW’r.
The person who threaten me could get in trouble as well
They didn't say no. They threaten me
can get you banned from TER. You've been here long enough to know this. I don't think there is anything wrong with suggesting you might be a good fit for someone posting on this board, but when you say, " . . . .Just say "I DON"T WANT YOUR SERVICES". No matter how many times you have to do so . . .," it's a clear violation of TER rules regarding use of PM.
I replied "please stop contacting me," and she did.
The person who makes threats can get band as well
What instrument does he play?
I will admit that I should just report it to the ADMIN. Which I should have done. But No One should threaten anyone in anyway, Shape or Form.
Then report it to admin, not your local PD.
Admin might take action if someone made a real threat. But they definitely won’t like that you’re spamming people.
CDL beat me to it, but the “No matter how many times you have to do so.” is menacing. I know it’s not your intention, but you’re making yourself look like a threat here.
I didn't take the "No matter how many times...." comment as coming across as threatening. It came across as quite obnoxious, in that it seems to imply she will keep sending the unsolicited communications about her services to people who have clearly said they don't want them. Bad telemarkting? Robo calls? Who wants that.
Of course with Kitty she might have been trying to say something else but as written seemed like she was saying "I can be obnoxious and bothersome to try getting business but the receiver has to stay cool and if not polite at least not upset."
Bad look regardless and I agree that this whole thing should have been kept to private channels not the public boards.
At $200 / hour, I'm surprised you need to advertise!
