Team PM!

[Kudram123]

A nice PM has never hurt anyone

It does always help to stop wanking for a minute and think of something proper to write though!

And giving someone something to reply on, more then just; Nice tits!

Wouldn't ya'll agree?

This is such a wonderful idea. Even without the Team Signature, I'm wondering if it's safe to assume the people supporting this idea would be willing to send/accept PM's from others on the thread who support it. Perhaps even make a post just listing those who would want to be part of the team, then we could start without waiting for anything "official" looking?

Bump. This idea can't die out.

Count me in

I'm on weekdays, during the day. Would love to be in the team. I love swapping pns, from PG to XXX or chatting on YIM.

I like it. Count me in. There are lots of times I prefer to get a PM for something a little more personal than just a "You look nice" message, and it's a much better way to make an actual connection and get to know someone.

Yay Team PM is back! I was thinking of this thread because I made a new friend today, new to Lit, and one of the first things he said about posting was that he is put off because he read posts and profiles of women complaining about PMs!

Women .. I saw this guy and he is HOT!

Why are people complaining? If you can't be yourself on Lit, where can you be yourself? Why join Lit and provoke that kind of reaction in men(/women) if it's going to offend you so much?

If you want attention - start your own (pic) thread... end of. Stop making people afraid to communicate with one another.

Team PM!

Truth! Isn't that what we're doing here in the first place?

I'd like to think so. Making sex a taboo subject on an (essentially) sexual forum seems a bit odd....
Or negative-attention-seeky....

Right. How else is a person able to start a private conversation on here w/o sending an "uninvited" PM? I send unsolicited PM's all the time... Although, I am a complete failure at promptly replying... (then I wait until it's too embarrassingly late and I think, "Forget it... shit, they won't even remember pm-ing...")
When my PM reply-groove is really on, I'll send a simple, "No, thank you" or a "Nice try", often I say, "Thanks, but no thanks"... to PMs of no interest. If the person is nice about it... whatever their request... I try to respond. (note: there is no "try" in life; I either do it, or I don't... you know?)
I'm an unreliable reply-er, I'm afraid. Don't take it personal... PS: My inbox is nearly full... Oh drudgery.

I just saw Lorelei's taboo post. Totally! What is that? Oxymoron? Paradox? Ironic, for sure...

Hello all,

After reading the quotes and the quotes of the quotes I think this whole idea is really good almost fresh in its approach.

I am not one to send unsolicited PMs but every now and then I give it a whirl (nothing rude mind you, first impressions and all).

To be able to see someone is happy to receive PMs would certainly level the playing field and who does not like being part of a big team!

I always welcome pm's. Boys and girls make me smile. I would love to smile more... x

I'll take one... or several in fact, for team PM!!

I absolutely love this idea guys... pms are always so exciting to receive! It would be great to know who is willing to read them and who isnt. I am up for it! However i havent seen the team pm signature yet..

love,

The doctor

All for the idea! Never hurts to get a PM, provided it doesn't start with "sorry"...lmao.

I don't really get why people say they don't want PMs in their signatures. Can't you just turn off PMs, and only accept those from your buddy list? And sometimes people are just so rude about it in their signatures. Sheesh.

Here's a question though - I really hate when people I don't know PM me and ask to chat. It just irritates me. Is it rude to say that in my profile? That I'm not up for chatting, so please don't ask? I'd be polite about it - honest!

You know that people rarely seem to read the profiles anymore right? I've had the "married, not looking for anything" in my profile since I started and people still send me a message asking if I want to show them my cam or cyber with them.

So how does one sign up or try out for team PM? I am all about giving and receiving PMs.

Wow...it seems that this idea (initiated by _Lorelei_) is very popular!

I haven't seen Kozuka for a while -- he offered to create a template for a signature. Would anyone else like to try? I'd suggest that it's based on Lorelei's idea of a shield-shape (like a badge) with the PM sign on it:

and saying "Team PM".

I'd suggest that the graphic needs to be quite small (perhaps no more than two smilies in height) so that it doesn't elongate people's signatures to an annoying extent.

I like the idea of being able to add a personalised strapline alongside the sign (e.g. "I welcome respectful PMs" or something else tailored to individual taste).

Are there any other ground rules that we need to agree, or is "Team PM" simply a loose confederation of Listers that enjoy receiving PMs?

I kind of like the idea of

Team PM with a link in the name to what it stands for
As a signature of course, I think I'd have room for that

Love the idea, however, I lack the skills for creating such a badge...

Just to say that another Litster has kindly picked up on the design of a "Team PM" badge. I don't wish to steal his thunder, but it sounds to me like a great idea -- hopefully we will see it soon.

In the meantime I've put this into my sig:

If anyone else wants to, just copy and paste the below and change the {} to [] (there are 8 in total to change)

As someone who's rather shy even when hidden behind a keyboard, this tread is such a welcome relief! I'm totally supportive, even if I remain somewhat lurker-y, but you have all encouraged me to reach out and start a few more conversations!

Hi and thanks for the copy and paste.

It's great to see so many people embracing this concept! When _Lorelei_ first mentioned the idea, I thought that she had something new and inspiring, so I was keen to give it a little push to see whether others agreed. It seems that they do!

I hope that "Team PM" will lead to many friendly conversations taking place that might otherwise never have happened. Would anyone like to report back on early successes (with the other participant in the exchange of PMs kept anonymous if appropriate)?

I'm now imagining snappy endorsements along the lines of:

"When I first joined the Lit forum, I never had Private Message conversations with anyone. Team PM changed all that for me!" ​

.

 

[babyoillover]

I'd like to give it a whirl ;-)

 

[WhenInDoubtFuck]

Finally joining the ranks here, and adding the "badge" that Mindfondler had mentioned. With American football underway and the baseball playoffs as well, I thought that team jerseys sounded nice. (See signature) I've also added my personalized shirt to my profile, #23. Please refrain from using my number if you decide to adapt a shirt of you own, but you can find my template here:

Template

It does need to be re-sized, but your final image dimensions may vary based on the readability of your forum name.

 

[_Lorelei_]

I would very much like to become a member of Team PM, don't know how or the requirements but like the concept.

Hi Ronster, so far it's just a case of posting in this thread and adding something to your signature to say that you welcome PMs...

At the moment this, or the template in the post above yours.

Just copy and paste the below and change the {} to [] (there are 8 in total to change)

I'm not sure I really understand this, but it seems like a fun idea. I'll try anything once...

Where do I sign?

 

[just4friends]

I will do this...

For Lorelei...
Not sure it will get me anymore pm's.

 

[Kalamain]

When I first came here I was really scared of sending an unsolicited PM. It seemed almost...rude??

Even now I am polite and apologise for sending a PM off to someone. I would like to join your merry band and add it to my sig.

I always reply to PMs in a polite and respectful manner... And I can be porny with the best if they deserve it!
