Oh no! A PM! (( Post your irrational fears! ))
Alrighty, my very first pm on Mene was a warning from a mod for double posting. o_o;
Reasonable, of course. But I have this weird little fear of autority I don't know being upset with me. ((Probably because my mom would punish me if I was disrespectful to other adults. ~shrug~)) Anyway, this topic isn't about that. But because of this pm, I seem to have it set in my mind that pms = bad news, and thus dislike checking my inbox. XD Isn't that stupid of me? I've gotten a warning or two since, which feels strange since Gaia, being the massively large site that it is, has never sent any sort of warning or ban to my account. ((The point here being I'm not used to hearing negative things from mods)) So discuss: Irrational fears How frequently you get warnings where the fears come from ... Cheese! Totally! XD |
Ah ha, we have the same problem, except my fear of mods came from Gaia. Sad, ne?
Anyways, I've got a couple warnings... and a totally official warning. But, That's not good, is it? 8) |
Whilst I haven't gotten any official warnings *touches wood* I have the same fear. Or either that I fear that someone like a friend of mine whether they be an online friend or in real life then either way its going to be bad news from them. I don't know why but if I see that I have multiple pms I just feel like I don't want to open them up. But luckily I did because an artist friend of mine on Mene sent me a lovely valentines day freebie which was very sweet and not scary at all! so if I hadn' t of checked it out then I wouldn't have seen the great artwork!

I'm going to send you a PM now. :P
I have an irrational fear of bees. I have never been stung, and I don't think I'm allergic. I just am really scared of them. I hate how they fly around all sluggish, are fuzzy, buzz... I just hate it and I freak out whenever a bee comes near me. It's so stupid! I hate myself for it. XD |
I was once afraid to check my e-mail for ages since I'd just been offered a job and I Was horribly afraid they were going to write to me telling me there had been a mistake and they were going to have to withdraw the offer XD
|
I used to be afraid of people disagreeing with me so I hated looking at forms if I had posted my opinion and used to check my spelling about 90 million times cause I don't like looking stupid. >_>;
|
On certain sites I do fear the mods, like magivolve (they just attack). I don't notice if I have a pm unless I check my email, -_- The user bar should be on the other side I'm like left side blind. I just don't look at it.
But yes I've had a few pm that had bad news in them, but most of the mods try to be nice about breaking the "news". most of the pms are from friends, so My PM=surprise :D |
I have an irrational fear with pms as well. Even if its my friend mailing me, i feel as though i have to wait 10 minutes at least before opening it, otherwise it will say something that i won't like. xD

Lesse... I also have an irrational fear of being along in silent pitchblack darkness. Yet I don't fear death... XD ((Not religious btw)) |
@Naiyo; Same with me. .3.;;
Anyways, I'm not so afraid of opening my inbox and checking my mail, since usually it comes from friends and stuff. 83 |
:lol: My friend is the same way, he got warned a little while ago and the next day he had a notifiction for 2 more pms in his email and was scared to come online. They ended up just being people wishing him happy birthday or something.
I'm really careful about what I do on here so I'm not too worried, but one day I did have a pm from a staff member and was like "... OMG, what'd I do. ;_;" |
Lol, me too! It's this horrible, sinking feeling... like you're going to be in big trouble or something each time you get a pm from a mod. I don't know why I get so freaked out... I mean... the WORST that could happen would be a ban. And yes, that would be awful, but it's not the end of the world if you can't play one of your online games.
|
I'm not too worried about PMs, even when it is mods warning me and/or getting banned for whatever reason, usually me being a loud mouth.
What really scares me, mirrors in the dark. Ugh, I just can't look at them, at night when I'm walking through the house, I keep my head down, or if I have to go to the bathroom, I just keep my eyes shut tight. I can maneuver around that bathroom pretty well these days, but man, I think it's the idea of seeing something in the mirror moving independantly of me, too many nights as a kid playing bloody mary or something. xP |
Heh. I know what you mean.
No mod has ever warned me or anything here. But if I ever get a PM from a mod or CM (if they aren't replying to something I sent them), I always freak out and think I did something wrong. And like Naiyo said, I hate people disagreeing with me. It makes me doubt myself and makes me uncomfortable. I'm pretty non-confrontational. So if I said something that I think someone might argue with me about, I won't want to look at the thread for a while. Or even be on the site. I have completely ignored Menewsha for a few days because someone was attacking me in one thread before. XD Eventually I got over it and came back, but I didn't read that thread for like, a week. (Turns out that that person hadn't even said anything since the last thing I said in it. XD) Basically, anything that regards someone being unhappy with me, I hate. On AND offline. |
I don't know how much I fear being reprimanded by mods...I haven't really had to deal with that too much. I'm more worried if I step out of line to deserve that PM, I guess.
My biggest problem is when someone I know PMs me. This is particularly bad on gaia - it might be a scammer, it might be someone begging for gold... One time, I had some random "just made" avatar on gaia send me a PM claiming someone I was chatting with was a scammer/hacker and that I should stop talking to them. That really shook me up badly. That was the same week one of my favorite sites kept having some 14-year-old hacker coming in and trying to hack into the user's computers by claiming he'd RP with them through his site (and link a fake link that gave you viruses and stuff). So yeah, I don't like that sort of thing for reasons like that. ^^; |
PMs.
x.x I feel the same way as you about PMs. At the beginning of the month, a mod got mad at me for using a color tag that I didn't know was against the rules. I didn't know it was against the rules because the rules don't explain it very well, so I serioulsy had no idea, and I was trying to tell her that I couldn't find it in the rules. Instead of being helpful, she got angry and didn't even bother to find and explain the rule until the third PM, and by that point she was accusing me of arguing with her and being rude, when I wasn't trying to do either. So yeah, I hate PMs, and I dread seeing that I've got one now, especially since I got like four from that mod throughout that day and everytime I saw one, started getting extremely nervous and sick feeling. @[email protected]

I usually get PMs from mods thanking me for filing reports and telling me what happened to them (often nuked off the face of the forum). I report misplaced posts and plain pyramid schemes (ToS violation).
The other PMs I get are often from my "pet" or from someone who thinks they're going to get a faster answer from a PM then from the forum. In the latter case I reply stating that the person would be better off posting in the forums. |
I don't think that's too irrational since at least a year into my gaia account I started getting pms from Admins telling me one of my posts was deleted or something. ><; After that pms didn't come too friendly even though the rest were just friend or marketplace pms. ><; On Mene I've been able to follow the rules accordingly but eventually you gotta love the inbox or it won't love you. XD J/k but salright, you're not gonna get spanked. <3
|
i can't remember whether i've gotten any warning through a message before..
but through posts, yes, some warnings when i was newbie. however, i've gotten some PM warnings ( twice ) before from other avatar site for some small matters ( like u did, double posting ) ;P |
I haven't gotten any warnings, just an inquiry, followed by a request to take an image off my signature (because it was offensive or something). I really dislike it whenever I get into trouble, being the goody-two-shoes that I am, and I HATE checking my PMs...because if I get one, I actually might have to RESPOND TO IT. XD (yes titneamoe, I got your PM and I'll respond soon ;-; )
|
I totally am the same way-- I'm always afraid to check my inbox, because I'm constantly afraid that I've broken a rule. I've only gotten a warning once, though, and it was in the forums, so I wasn't too worried about it. But it was still kind of upsetting.
|
My first PM on here was a warning too. A nice friendly one saying could I please only use one colour font. I've also had one reminding me that single word posts are not really within the rules even if it is just an hello. Oh, and one telling me to report people rather than shout right back. ^_^ But naw, I'm not scared of it. If I do something wrong Ill take the heat.
I'm scared of Gaia mods. You know, one actually tried to scam me? "You've been reported for such and such, give me your demonic pendant and I'll let it go." or something along those lines! :shock: My irrational fear is tunnels. THEY'RE GOING TO COLLAPSE ON ME!!!!!!!! |
Luickly I've never done anything to bad well ok i have but luiclkly people have been nice enough to me to warn before reporting. *sighs with relief*. I do hate to get into trouble, at school, work and yes even online. ><
But yea same here when i get a pm from somebody i do not know i tend to feel a Lil stress out and stuff. Buut.. yea.. |
