The TMP FAQ

Personal Messages (PMs)

What is a PM?

A PM is a message sent between members of TMP.

Who can send a PM?

Sending PM's is a perk of the Supporting Members.

Are there any exceptions?

Yes - any TMP member can send a PM to the  the Editor  (and vice versa).

I'm not a Supporting Member, but I need to send a PM.

You could buy a one-month Supporting Membership (it costs very little)...

But I can't afford it.

Send me the info, then, and I'll forward it for you.

How do I know if I have any PMs?

It will say at the top-left corner of the homepage.

How do I send a PM?

On each member's Profile page, there is a button to send a PM. Also, on the forums, you can use the "P" button to send a PM to the author of any post.

Can I quote from a PM here on the forums, or anywhere else?

Please don't without permission of the original author.

But it's really important.

You can ask  the Editor  to make an exception in your case.

Someone sent me a mean PM. Can I file a complaint?

Generally, the best thing to do with a "nastygram" is to simply delete it.

But it's a really mean PM.

If you really insist, I'll take a look at it. If someone is making a habit of sending obscene or threatening Personal Messages, their PM privileges may be revoked.
