Wouldn't the polite thing to do when you receive a private message is respond to the message?


I can understand if you were having a conversation and the conversation just dies after so many messages.

But if someone sends you a PM, I think the polite thing would be to at least respond.



Thoughts? Two cents?
 
I respond to MOST of my PMs. If I responded to all of them, and they responded back, we'd be stuck in an endless loop. :)

I don't respond if the PM is a quick sort of "thanks" or "good job" sort of PM. I'll sometimes write back "you're welcome" or "thanks", but it hardly seems worth it. If there's something to chat about in addition to that, I'll write back, though.

I dunno, I randomly write to people all the time, and I guess since my attention is unsolicited in those cases, I feel as if I don't really have the right to expect them to reply.
 
If i'm in the mood to entertain them I'll reply. Sometimes I'm too lazy D: sorry.
 
About the only pm's I haven't responded to are the ones from random users with single-digit posts, wanting nude pics.

Other than that, if you pm me, I'll respond. It may not go past that single pm from either of us, but I won't ignore it.
 
People PM you for a specific reason and I think it's rude to ignore them (unless they curse you and wish you to burn in hell...that's a whole different story). Even if I'm lazy to reply the PM, I will still reply it (after a one or two day(s) delay).
 
I'm the type of guy who ALWAYS responds to PMs and e-mails if i'm having a conversation with someone, or they want to ask me something.
 
I think I always respond, especially if I've never heard from you before.

For the guys I frequently correspond with, sometimes I can wait for some time...

Yeah, that's how I've come to be friends with some of my fellow JUBbers, like you. (*8*)


I even responded to the gimp who told me that he'd read my blog and that I should be ashamed to post stuff publically because it was obvious I was illiterate and had no writing skills.

I would have torn him a new one, and not in a good way. :grrr:

Agreed. Common courtesy, really.

-d-
 
sometimes people tend to forget or the the opportune time to report to the message has passed so they just wait until another time.

maybe if you send whoever it is another message, he/she will reply to you?
 
It depends...

I usually do my best to respond to PMs, but sometimes I have a good reason for not doing so.

Generally if the content of the PM is going in a direction I do not approve of, or if the PM sender has been sending numerous messages all containing the same phrase or subject over a short period of time.

But almost usually always...
 
Yes, I consider it extremely rude not to respond to PMs. if someone has taken the time and effort to send you something, the very leats you can do is acknowledge it.

*Yeesh*
 
I'm going to hazard a risky guess that the OP has been 'stood up' by someone PM-style. :)
 
>>>About the only pm's I haven't responded to are the ones from random users with single-digit posts, wanting nude pics.

I'll be honest - I have a soft spot (OK, not all THAT soft) for this type of PM. Partially because they're so random and out-of-nowhere and unexpected. And partially, yes, because they play into my vanity. They're interested in li'l-ol-me? Yes, I know very well they're probably PMing forty other people at the same time. But still, getting a "I need some of that thick gargoyle cock" PM tickles me for the rest of the day. :)

And no - that doesn't mean I don't like the intelligent, thought-out, friendly PMs. Just in a different way. :)

i think it's proper to respond to a person who has taken the time to write a PM to a person. I always respond. I don't always respond to comments, especially when they come from nasty, arrogant know it all forum members. i say funk them.....
 
Instead of PM's, I will mostly post comments instead.

I can understand BrioHazard's point though - I can think of four occasions right now, where I've asked different JUBbers a question by leaving a comment, and have never gotten a response.

:(
 
I respond all my PMs, it's nice to feel people notice you. Sometimes chat die.

I haveve to say I've never received "unappropiated" messages
