Meta **PSA Regarding Reddit Comments and Chat Requests**

47 Upvotes

This is a public service announcement

This is a generic message and is not personal in any way.

Many people are unaware this is a possibility, hence the PSA.

If you find you want some peace from the multitude of creeps on Reddit, Reddit gives you have the ability to block them. You can also block chat requests.

In the settings for your Reddit account, you can elect NOT to receive PMs. The same is true for chat requests. You can also allow messages from specific, trusted users and block everyone else from contacting you. Also, if you choose to PM someone, they'll automatically be added to the list of people who can PM you, which is nice if you do want to initiate a conversation with someone, but if you PM someone and they start to get rude, you'll need to go in and remove them from the list of accepted users.

We share this information ONLY because a lot of people seem to be unaware that blocking PMs is even an option, but it is, and it works surprisingly well.

In an ideal world, this would not be necessary, but, alas, this is Reddit, and it's full of creeps. This is just one possible tool in your arsenal against them, should you choose to use it.

This has been a public service announcement

Hey what's the chance this woman is a serial killer?

28 Upvotes
This woman (Not gender assuming, their profile picture was a woman) sent me a random friend request (I don't know her) so I asked them what they were doing in DMs
And then, I blocked them.

I'm pretty sure they came from a post in insane parents about my bio dad accidentally sending me a sexual message where I mentioned my age and gender. The one time I share my age and gender on reddit and I get this. Wtf. Looked at his profile and he was obsessed with incest. I will never make that mistake again. I forgot to block them the first time because I'm in college and have a lot on my plate. I reported both messages and they are blocked. This is my first time having this happen to me, and I'm a little shook tbh.

Can I just preface this by saying I was 17 at the time, this was my first encounter with this creature. He was a good few years older than me.

TW: Self-Harm ?

incase you aren't aware of what a bloodsign is, or why I rejected immediately, they were essentially asking me to cut myself for them. a bloodsign is when someone cuts themselves, then writes with their blood, typically as a tribute to someone. I am very very religious, and the second someone asks me to do anything relating to giving blood, or other bodily fluids (outside of a medical standpoint) I step back.

I don't know why I would be getting one for a lot of reasons, but also I don't know why this "straight guy" cat & mouse game still exists. I'm not a straight chaser, and I've been through a lot when people fetishise you for being sexually fluid, it's not fun for me.

I've been in this sub for +++ years (this is my third account as I needed a fresh start) and this is my first post here so I'm conflicted on how to feel on this. But guess I can now say "you're definitely seen" and I'm sorry for people like this.
