So you wanna talk to the me?

(Note: this mostly applies to InvisionFree users, but might apply to you too. I just needed a place to put it.)

So, you think that because I make my IM addresses publicly available, that I want to talk to you, eh? Well, let’s run down a set of criteria for IMing or otherwise harrassing me. My IM addresses are some of the easiest to obtain of all InvisionFree or ASO staff… I do this because I want to be available for those that really need immediate help. Let’s talk about what to and not to do.

Please note that if you don’t immediately identify yourself, where you come from, and why you’re IMing me, you’ll probably get blocked. It’s not that I don’t like you… I just get waaaay too many spambots, support requests, etc. to do anything but block, block, block.

And so we begin:

I’m from InvisionFree. I need help. Your name is red; help me!

Well, for you we have some wonderful support options available. The Support Forums are very active and you’ll find lots of resources such as the Documentation to help you out. Or, you can open a Support Ticket in your Admin CP and get a direct line to the support staff. We prohibit IMing staff for support because this slows things down for everybody. And I definitely don’t want to talk to you, I get enough IMs and PMs as it is.

I’m from InvisionFree, and I need a name change or my board got cracked etc.

Ah ha, this is what I’m there for. I’d be happy to talk to you.

I’m from InvisionFree, and I (want to be staff | want to host my own free forums | want to buy InvisionFree | would like to affiliate with InvisionFree)

Do you have one (1) million US dollars (USD)? If so, you may IM me, otherwise LOLOLOL. :)

I just want to talk.

If I know you in person, you work with me, etc., great, I like to talk. Otherwise, get a life and go talk to some real people. Please, I have work to be doing too, y’know.

I’m a pretty girl and I just want to talk.

Say no more. :)

I have a question about (IdioPoll | your website | Mozilla software | PHP)

Cool! I’ll talk to you and help you out as much as I can.
