A public forum is a great place where we can keep each other accountable and safe. But, especially to new members, the private message system is not a place for anyone to be harassed, disrespected, or coerced.
We have mods here who are extremely helpful when a member is feeling uncomfortable. If you are getting unwanted attention, harassment, crude messages, or anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, you don’t have to take it. The integrity of this forum is so important to many of us and keeping each other safe as we show such vulnerability toward each other is extremely important.
For anyone that needs to hear this: remember, your private messages should be a place of safety, too. If anyone is making you feel uncomfortable through private messages, you can report it and get help. I have had to do this, too.
