11. If you receive an unwanted DU Mail message
Sat Aug 3, 2024, 08:16 AM

You have a couple of options. The first is to click the "Alert" button which exists at the bottom of the message you received. Be aware however that the Jury system does not apply to DU Mail messages. The alert will be sent to me, and I will only take action if it contains something particularly egregious, like a threat of violence or something bigoted.

The other option which we recommend to everyone is to block mail messages from the sender. Click on the sender's name in your inbox to go to their Profile page, then click the Ignore button found near the top of the page. After that, select the "Block mail" option. If you don't want to see any posts by the member either you can click "Full ignore."
