No offense, 33girl, but what is a moderator going to do? I don't think they necessarily have any special powers (other than to kick people out of chat rooms, post on the moderator board,etc. ) What are they going to do?? Especially if someone got a hold of your IM and is now abusing it by sending you rude/disgusting/invasive messages. There's nothing that makes moderators qualified to trace IP's, track people down, etc., although some of them may be very eager to help. Don't take this the wrong way - I have nothing against moderators on this board!
I just don't think that contacting them is going to do squat to solve the problem. John is the only person who really do anything, and he's too busy to serve as our personal a*hole police, and besides, it won't do anything to stop this crap from happening in the long term.
That's why I really respect that HurlyGurly and anyone else brings as issue such as this to the boards and let's everyone know what is going on, so we can support each other, share ideas, and hopefully come up with a workable solution. It's easy to think you're the "only one" if you receive a message like this, so it is extremely helpful to be able to hear that you're not the only one!
If you don't want to read about other people's problems, and feel like it's wasting your time, - then don't read threads like this one! It's that easy.

We don't need a battle of the sexes on here, especially with the "I am an empowered woman" thinking one minute, and "boo hoo guys, please help me" the next. Help yourself - don't look to the guys to do it.
Once again, if there is a problem with any user on this board, REPORT IT TO A MODERATOR.
