I believe that it is possible to have private messaging on the forum.
If we had it, would you use it?
How would inappropriate use be handled?

I think that it would be a good idea. Most forums have a facility to block messages from any user they do not wish to have contact from, this should deal with any nuisance users.

Brilliant idea ! We could also do like the freemasons and have secret handshakes , and have a Grand master ( Ian or Alex ) would be perfect ! Not sure about the initiation ceremony though ! Maybe then I could get my speeding ticket revoked ! :o ;D

We did have private messaging on the forum a couple of years ago, but it was abused by third parties trying to poach members over onto a different window cleaning forum.
Ergo, Mike eventually removed the facility for private messaging, a shame but there you go :-\

Fair enough I suppose, I can understand that.
If we all put our emails on our profile then we could use standard email anyway.

That was then. This is now.
Can we try it again (with certain ground rules in place, if you like) and see how it goes?
I can understand why colleagues may be unwilling to place their emails in the public domain.

The trouble with that is that some people were getting a fair bit of spam.

Why not add each other to MSN then u choose who to add, make up a new msn name like cleanitup-jaykie@hotmail.com if someone abuses you block them.

I've had my email address on my profile ever since I've joined CIU and I don't think I've had one spam or inappropriate email from it but I can see the potential problem.
