Which way do mods/admins prefer to be contacted?

Now that we have Private Messages, I’m wondering whether the mods and admins prefer to be contacted that way, or by email.

I think the preference is probably still e-mail. Believe it or not, the mods do have lives, or at least a fair facsimile of one, and they’re not always on the board (and thus wouldn’t notice that they have a PM). But most of them are on a computer doing something or another fairly often, and so will get an e-mail. So if you need to get a mod’s attention quickly, e-mail (ideally to several at once) is probably the best way to do it. And reporting a post is probably the quickest way to e-mail them.

But of course, IANAMAM.

What he said.

It’s easier to catch emails than PMs.

Mods have lives? :confused:

I thought they signed an lifetime indenture contract!

I don’t care; either way works. I am not yet, though, in the habit of checking for new private messages, and it might be days before I noticed it.

I thought the preferred method of contact was still an express package filled with chocolate and beer. :confused:

Well, nobody wants to pay for sending a hooker in an express package.

They keep forgetting to put air holes in the boxes.

A header of “your Worship” always gets my attention.

And I don’t want a hooker, anyway. Chocolate and/or beer, on the other hand…

Ok, so chocolate and beer on the other hand, but what do you want for the other hand?

Wanna trade?

A kittycat. And a book in the gripping hand.

I’m always amiable to more chocolate. You poor thing, you.

I’ll just sit in the dark and sob quietly.

With my two hookers.

I think they charge extra for that.
