Racer --
Could you clarify for me exactly what the guideline in question is?
Thanks!

> I'm sorry, Scott, but I'm going to have to ask you to follow site guidelines regarding requests to others not to post to you.

From the FAQ: http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/faq.html#harassed
"I'd rather lines of communication stayed open, but if that's not possible, you can, as a last resort, ask that another poster be asked not to post to you anymore. If you think you need to do that, follow these steps:
1. Identify a post by them to you that makes you feel harassed. Use the "notify administrators" button below that post to let me and the deputy administrators know why it makes you feel harassed and, since this should be a last resort, what steps you've already taken to address the situation.
2. If we're going to support your request, we'll post a response to their post. If not, we'll let you know why not. We may also decide their post isn't civil, but that's a separate issue.
3. If we ask them not to post to you, but they do, use the "notify administrators" button below their new post to inform us.If you post to them, it's OK for them to post to you in response. Your request stays in effect unless you change your mind, which you may do at any time (and are encouraged to do at some time to reopen lines of communication).
Posting to someone means directing either the subject line or the body of a post to them. Replying to a post by someone isn't necessarily posting to them."
That's a lot of wordiness, IMO, but the bottom line with this is not to ask others in public, on the boards, not to post to you. Hope that helps.

No now I don't understand as how can one ask offline for a poster not to post to them if their babblemail is off? Phillipa

Sorry it's so confusing. If you take a look at the guidelines again, they ask posters to notify admin if they would like another poster to stop posting to them, *not* to contact the poster directly.
Does that answer your question?
