I received this PM from Baron Greenback:
[QUOTE=Baron Greenback]
You’re my wife now.

So, what’s with the creepy pm?
Maybe, it wasn’t meant to be creepy and was in reference to a thread I posted?

Why didn’t you PM him back and ask instead of asking him in an open and public forum?? If you don’t want to get PMs from someone I believe there is a mechanism for that (simply put the poster on ignore would work).
BTW, it sounds like he was making a joke. Just saying, though perhaps some context would help.
I wish you both much happiness and many children.
Well then, it’s a total mystery why someone would send the OP a (joke) creepy PM when s/he started a thread on creepy PMs that people have received and asked for details.
I posted it because I’m not sure what it was (a joke or a creepy message).
I actually thought it might be someone’s spam account.
Haha, got me. Okay. I jumped.
You start a thread about creepy PM’s and within a few hours receive a creepy PM. I don’t think we need to spend too much effort solving this mystery.
DURP
I didn’t expect members to take a joke to that level. Also, it’s not uncommon for a messageboard to have spammers. I just wasn’t sure.
If it was a joke, it was in bad taste and I would have preferred it to stay in the thread.
I get a little nervous when people send me pms that say, “You’re my wife now.” I’m a guy by the way.
Now you know, and knowing is exactly zero percent of the battle.

Trying to keep this from spinning out of control here, but a couple of things. First off, if someone sends you a creepy PM, just ignore it…and if they keep doing it put them on ignore. Don’t start a Pit thread, unless you like pain and humiliation. Secondly, if you think someone is spamming you, send a (non-creepy) PM to a Mod…that’s why they make the ‘big bucks’ (i.e. coffee mugs and tee shirts). Thirdly, you can click on a posters name to see information about that poster…which, if you had done so with Baron you’d note he has been a member since 2006 and has over 6000 posts in that time. So, hardly someones ‘spam account’.
I apologize. I’m still learning the ropes around here. Thanks for the advice, XT.
She did. I was getting ready to look into the possibility of some harassment or something really untoward when I saw the IMHO thread and Baron Greenback’s post and put two and two together.
You have no idea.
Am I too late to send my spam PM?
What?
I’m glad it was all sorted out to your satisfaction.
However, you ARE his wife now.
My girlfriend won’t be happy about that. She doesn’t like to share.
Girlfriend? You’re married and you have a girlfriend? CHEATER!
My wife is made of spam.
I was forced into this marriage. I want a divorce!
