Hi,
I just got the following message sent to me:
"Every one of you from Big Finish should leave this forum. You will be accused of lacking empathy in an innocent discussion and banned for standing up for yourself, even though the other person was in the wrong and not you. Your words will be twisted, and in your case it will destroy your professional careers. Leave now whilst you have the chance."
There were a couple of follow-up messages in the vein of "Please take note of this warning."
What do I do in these cases?
(By the way I love the idea I have a professional career at Big Finish. It's semi-professional in the best-case, and I don't actually work for them.)
Rob.

Well that is ominous, to say the least. I would:
A.) Contact an admin/mod and get them to help out.
B.) Ask any other "BF creative team" memenrfs whether they've been sent the same.
C.) Overall just ignore it. Somebody's clearly either miffed or wanting to mess you about, and not engaging with them is the easiest way to bore them out of doing it again.

Not sure who to contact to be honest - it's not the easiest message board to navigate if you want to find someone in charge!
Not overly worried, though; clearly just a weirdo, but a bit fucked off that they'd message me directly without reason.

Its a Former Member who was banned today for inappropriate tone in postings under an Account they're using just to PM a complaint.

Thanks all. I won't deny I was initially a bit scared by getting a PM along the lines put out. My stubborn resolve kicked in quick, mind.
So long as I haven't stepped over a line myself and "deserved" it.
Rob.

Even if somehow you broke the rules here (and from I've seen you've never even come close), there's nothing that would "deserve" that kind of message.

The version I received
I recommend you eave this forum. You will be accused of lacking empathy in an innocent discussion and banned for standing up for yourself, even though the other person was in the wrong and not you. Your words will be twisted. This forum has shown its true colours.
Regards

Rob Morris : Sorry you've been disturbed by someone messaging you this nonsense. I suspect it's a member who has been temporarily banned for one month for ignoring warnings about his behavior on the forum in the last few days. He may have either enlisted friends or created pseudonyms for the purpose of harassing other forum members because he is upset about his temporary banning. We've already banned at least two newly created accounts for sending such messages. The temporarily banned member, if he is reading, should be aware that if he keeps up harassing forum members, his ban will be made permanent. We will not tolerate this type of behavior and willful disregard for the rules of the forum. I understand that he is upset, but this is not the way to resolve a problem. If you wish you can PM me or one of the other moderators with details or any such messages you receive. It's possible to locate the names of the moderators by clicking on "Members" on the navigation bar at the top of the forum, than clicking the dropdown menu labeled "View All" and selecting "View staff." The moderators engaged in actively monitoring the forum are myself ( Ela ), coffeeaddict , elkawho , acousticwolf , glutamodo , and kfbate . Thanks, and sorry again that you've had to put up with this. We want this forum to be a pleasant place for all.

Rob,
Please check your PM’s.
As I believe this issue has been dealt with I will lock this thread.
As Jason noted above, should anyone need to contact a mod for any reason, just send any of us a message by PM.
