Just curious here, do any of the moderators here accept PMs? I tried to PM two only to find that they don't accept PMs.

Many (most?) mods do, although it is a matter of personal preference.

I certainly do...

I accept PMs only from other mods and admins. There is no reason for others to PM me -- if you have a question just post it in the appropriate board for anyone to answer.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

I will typically accept PM's, unless it is about an issue not-related to the site, then I'll re-direct you to the appropriate forum. Not only will you have a better chance of sucess with a forum post than a PM, but the end result will be available for future people who may have the same issues

I can appreciate not wanting to be hassled by PMs, and I do realize that there are proper forums for most any topic. I recently saw a new member post her email address and tried to bring this to someones attention as this might not have been a well thought out decision. I posted a suggestion that a moderator might want to do this person a favor and remove it and suggest that they submit it in their profile, I didn't get any response, so I tried PMing the two moderators that were shown to be involved in this forum only to be told that they don't accept PMs. How would like to wake up and find a couple hundred emails trying to sell you anything from vinyl siding to sex toys because you had a brain fart and posted your email address?

if you don't get a response, that doesn't mean it isn't being read and acted upon.
PMs like that will likely be read and acted upon, but you won't get a response telling you so.
PMs asking for personal help or other favours will however be discarded.
As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

For such situations, use the "Flag Bad Post" link which is available in every member's post.
