Acceptable, though the URL would just be "http://my.opera.com/" followed by the name.

I seem to remember a few of these names before ...

This one was/used to be "http://my.opera.com/giftlove88/about/" on Thursday, 24. April 2008, 01:58:21 when she was reported by BleedingHeart and deleted by sgunhouse on Thursday, 24. April 2008, 03:16:33.

The message she sent me is exactly the same as the one she sent BleedingHeart...

We tell people not to quote messages for a reason, please don't quote someone else's offensive content.

The "Block user" button is not on anyone's blog, it's on either their Info or about pages.

I see that "prettyboy" has actually been a member for some time, so I'll warn him this time ...

Bodeezy2 again. Looks like this "Laura Lindsey" person really likes this site, as another poster said.

I know you'all don't want PM quotes, so just an excerpt because I thought this "social engineering" tactic was clever:

"Prolly don't remember me do ya? It's Laura. I talked to you almost a year ago in PM"

It was a tip off to me because I wasn't even a member of this site a year ago.
