THIS IS GHOSTMAN11 i have grabbed the keyboard off LG as i spotted your post he was reading.G11 and killivolt, I hadn't even considered what you seem to be talking about. I was thinking all communications would be out in the open. Maybe PM's should be turned off, except for moderators, for anyone who is not classified as an "adult."
Of course, that might add a difficult confirmation if applied to everyone, but if "grooming" is the issue, then there would be no advantage to pretending to be a child.

hi John,
We [moderators] have never received any complaints from members regarding unsolicited PM's of suspected ' grooming'.
I cannot see why any member would want to divert this Thread into that way of thinking?
IMHO there is no requirement for Administration to turn off PM's; the user has already got the option to block unwanted conversations.
The OP is asking about the 'fairness' of adult members posing as a child or a female in order to get a 'better' response to their posts.
I guess its pretty obvious to most older members that a number of posts are not being made by children or pseudo females.
Regards
Eric
Eric if you have concerns that an adult is posing as a child then OUT THEM! simple as that, by not naming names you just create mistrust, posing as a child to gain help is one thing (i still dont buy this, i dont see the child having the advantage), but my concern is how do you know what the intentions really are? why would a child report someone who they thought was also a child sending them a friendly pm? they wouldn't. the same way i do not believe an adult would with bad intentions would use a medium such as a forum to do anymore than gain contact. Read about it there is enough information around, the normal route gain trust and contact move onto skype pm's etc.hi John,
