Are unsolicited approaches asking for work via PM allowed here?
Just had one, wondering if that’s appropriate or not?
As long as no forum rules are being breached or any illegal activities happening then I don’t see a problem. Be cautious though. There are various Troglodites on this forum who’s sole intention is to con people out of their money. Just do a search and you’ll see.
My advice is, research the person first, ask around about them and do not just take their word for it and hand over money.
Unsolicited approaches via PM are not banned on this site. If you feel the nature of the PM is a problem, then just report the PM and the poster. The moderators will then be able to look at the PM and work out if any action should be taken. Obviously if we got the same report from many users we’d ban the user sending the PMs.
