Please, please, please do not hesitate to message me or another staff member if someone is using our site's private messaging system in such a way as to make you uncomfortable. You have every right to use our site without being subject to private messages that make you feel unsafe or uneasy. You should never feel pressured into not speaking up.
Every private message chain has a block and report button underneath that allows you to quickly and easily block communications with a specific user, and (if you choose to) submit a report to the administrators so that they can investigate any relevant message chains and act in your best interest to keep you safe. If you'd rather talk about the situation with a site moderator, we can also forward your concerns to the admins (with your permission). Reporting a user through their profile will also put the situation on our radar so the team -- as a whole -- can put energy into investigating the situation for you.
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. Drzzter

As a funfact: There was a case of a stalker, the guy kept creating accounts to harras the victim. At the end Cyprezz locked the ability for 1 levellers of contacting the victim.
If anyone is harrassing you, report the guy. You can prevent a lot of damage or further victims
I’d like to add on and say that all conversations are private and us moderators can’t ever see them unless you screenshot the chat. Only the admins can check the contents of PMs, and even then it’s only ever used very rarely when we think there’s a genuine concern for another member’s safety. Even if we suspect that something fishy is happening in PMs, we won’t check. You don’t need to worry about any spying or moderating based on PM content unless we have a genuine reason to do so.
that being said, this does mean that when you report a PM thread, we can’t view the messages or context, so in the report you should screenshot the chat or mention to us that it’s in xyz pms with xyz person.
(the exception is the live PMC chat where all staff can check private PMs again only if it’s necessary)
