Welcome to tutorial, which will teach you how to set up your Forum account and not receive notifications or Private messages from other Users, or from your Foes.
UCP settings:
- Open up your "Private Message Inbox".
- Go to "Rules, folders & settings".
- All the settings for your Private messages will be opened up. In here, pay attention especially to the ADD NEW RULE section of the page.
Screenshot for help:
Spoiler:
- 1. Block specific User
- This will effectively block all Private messages from certain User. However, the messages will still be sent to you - the rule will just instantly delete them, without even warning you they ever existed. This is especially useful if you are being harrased by a certain user via Private Messages, because moving this User into your Foes does not remove their ability to message you privatedly.
Remember - never set up this rule for any of the Staff Members - if you do, you will no longer get messages from them, considering your warnings or just information related to your reports, etc. These messages still apply as if they were received, as it is your resposibility for not receiving them - further complains like "I didnt see them because I had their PMs disabled!" will be considered invalid.
- Setting up the Rule to block a User:
- 2. Block All your Foes.
- 3. Create a Folder for Foe messages.
Optionally, you can also create a wide variety of other useful Rules and Settings, or even PM Folders. One example would be setting up a new Folder for Moderator messages, and then selecting a Rule with Usergroup of Global Moderators, and send their messages straight to the Folder for Moderator Messages.
You can also select the Foe or User messages and instead of selecting "delete message" you can select "Mark as read" - in that case, you will receive the messages from your Foes/ User, but they will not show up as a Notification on the top of your page.
