First Time I have been annoyed here on the forum.

[Bluebird1357]

I have been an active member of this community since 2018.
I think I gave a lot, and of course, I have also received a lot. But over the last weeks it was the first time I have been properly annoyed by one member of this community (Well, there was a previous case, but this is another story).

My telegram handle is not public, but someone was smart enough to contact me over Telegram by finding my handle.

I received a call from an unknown contact.

Then a chat appeared:

	Tanya Called	Tanya became Alvy. Of course he is a smart guy
	The guy was quite pushy	Continued

Now he is blocked, and my Telegram handle was changed to make it less easily guessable.
I understand this is part of the game, but it made me feel unwell, as as I clearly state on my merit thread:

What you don't get applying to get a post merited:

• The certainty of a merit for your submission.
• The timely assessment of the quality of your merit submission.
• The right to discuss my meriting choices. My meriting habits aren't under scrutiny here.

Let alone ringing my phone and harassing me with a merit request.


I will continue to do my best to help this community. I just wanted to share this with this unknown user.

Whoever did this did a very bad thing because everyone would have benefited from this. Now everyone will have to pay for it for one person. In fact, those who do not understand social etiquette should not come to this forum. For those who cannot grasp even the minimum level of social decorum, this forum is not the right place.There are still some people in the society who have not been able to learn discipline, social skills, and politeness even from this forum.

My telegram handler is public and since I started lending btc I get harassed all the time with loan requests from totally non-scammy guys.

Your meme made me giggle.
Yeah, but your telegram is public, and starting a business like that one I guess you factored in a certain amount of users misbehaving.
My telegram was private, and I didn't factor someone being so annoying.
Lesson learned, btw.

I just read about the harassment you experienced after your telegram was exposed by a person out of nowhere who asked forcibly.

But it is indeed very annoying with a barrage of messages that even become Spam,
such people are usually mentally disturbed and do not think about the actions they make.

Having symptoms of mental mania or hypomania (part of Bipolar Disorder):
In the mania or hypomania phase, a person can experience increased energy, excessive activity, a flight of thoughts, and an urge to overcommunicate.
This can include sending a lot of messages impulsively and without considering the impact on others.

My telegram was private, and I didn't factor someone being so annoying.
Lesson learned, btw.

Telegram being the best spam place, I get dozens of messages from strangers, by sending links, files and such.
You need to Hide your telegram username and manage who can send messages, unknown people will automatically be included in the blacklist

In life generally there's a demarcating line between the place of right and that of privilege but unfortunately some persons confused the two thereby taking a privilege to be a right of theirs.  Going outside the forum is just the height of it.

I think it is in the avoidance of such harassment and invasion of privacy by some uncultured persons that might have made some merit sources restrain from creating such similar threads because there will be those that would abuse the privilege. But then, I believe fillippone is someone with a heart of gold, he wouldn't allow one disrespectful sloth come in-between his generosity.
