TL;DR PMing users of this (SFW) sub with NSFW requests is NOT okay.

If you receive a message like this, screenshot the messages, report and block the user, and let us know ASAP.

Report reasons:

• In general, report with the most serious report reason applicable! This is super important and reddit officially recommends this to get your report prioritized correctly.
• If they offer you money in exchange for sexual services:
  • "Other issues" > "It's a transaction for prohibited goods or services"
  • Or "It's spam or abuse" > "This is abusive or harassing" > "It's targeted harassment" > "At me"
• If you are a minor:
  • "It's sexual or suggestive content involving minors"
• Other unwanted sexual solicitation:
  • "It's spam or abuse" > "This is abusive or harassing" > "It's targeted harassment" > "At me"

Hi curlies,

Unfortunately we've been having issues with some users PMing women who post to this subreddit.

Please do not engage with them.

I hesitated to post this because I don't want to inspire copycats, but it's getting out of hand.

They typically start out by asking if it's ok to ask you a question, and then they'll ask for pictures/services, possibly in exchange for money. Even if you're interested in such a transaction, we've had someone report that they don't pay up. So, lose-lose.

Again, if you receive a message like this, screenshot the messages, report and block the user, and let us know ASAP.

We will immediately ban anyone who does this. Unfortunately, this only stops them from commenting and voting. They can still see everything here, just can't directly interact.

Thanks to everyone who's made us aware of the problem so far, & sorry you've had to deal with it. I wish there was more we could do.
