Worrying poster

I just got a random private message that just had one of those emoji pictures of a coffin in it

I came on the site and decided to have a look at that member’s posts (because I thought you had to be some kind of semi-established member to send people PMs) and they are an old member who seemed to join up 5 years ago and made a few genuine and friendly sounding posts

However they seem to have just returned and made like 20 really weird posts saying stuff like it’s a shame disabled people aren’t just removed from society and stuff like that

Just wondering if anyone else has had weird PMs?

I found it funny more than anything but thought it right to be a bit concerned and to mention in case they’ve decided this is it or something and need some intervention

Thanks!

    @Sandy_123 sorry I didn’t mean I agreed with them or anything. I just meant if they were trying to cause upset I had to laugh as that’s how I deal with things like that

    @Ami2301 hi, it’s nice to see you, sorry I didn’t get in touch for ages, I assumed you were busy as you have lots going on. I hope you and your family are all OK and that all your projects going well 😊

    @66Mustang

    Hi I think that’s shocking someone deliberately trying to upset people, Im so glad you could laugh it off as I would hopefully be able to do that to, but a lot of people won’t have the same reaction.
    This happened a while back someone sending nasty PMs and it upset a lot off people on the community and actually made some people leave.
    Hopefully admin can get to the bottom of it.

    @Ami2301

    Hi it’s lovely to see you back but sorry you received one off these PMs it’s disgusting.
    I hope you and your family are doing well.

    ❤️

    I've not got a thing. I am messageless. I don't think it would bother me to get coffin messages. The way I see it, the sender would have to be sicker than I am. At least I still have my wits. I would question if they did.

    Sorry for not acting more quickly but it seems there were issues with the site yesterday

    I got another identical message just after midnight today so looking on the bright side they clearly haven't done anything silly to themselves but are still obviously trying to cause upset

    I might be being dim but I can't seem to find a way to report a private message so I will share their username as I think it's best - HB2100 is their user name

    Hopefully one of the admins can help today or on Monday when people are back in office

    Im sorry to hear you had another of those messages. There used to be a flag button on PMs so you could report it but I see it's been removed. @Adrian_Scope @Albus_Scope @Jimm_Scope @Rosie_Scope can you help here please.

    Hi Everyone. I trust you are all ok and just being the best you can be,

    I have only had 1 PM and it was from a lady and totally unoffensive.

    I simply cannot understand why someone would post an offensive message.
