Roleplaying Spam

I received a message from a user who I won't name asking me if I knew how to turn him/her into a Immortal Vampire.
I replied with Do not message me again and I would advise everybody on SpellsofMagic.com to ignore such ridiculous questions when receiving a message regarding fantasies.
To my knowledge the only real path to Vampirism is to learn the ways of energy draining from others.

Thank you for stating this, but you can report him/her to a moderator or report him/her to the Administrator by going onto the message and click "report", then leaving the message in your mail box so the Admin can see it.

You're welcome and I know I could've reported him/her, But Everyone has to learn for themselves what is real and what isn't, so I don't think it would have done to have them gagged or whatever the Moderator sees fit to do with fools on this website. To each his own but I just won't play along with his/her fantasy.

We do discourage role playing and spam.But rather than gagging (unless they are very persistent!) we try to lead them in the right direction. Many RPs are children having fun!

I have received such mails too; everything from turning them into vampire, werewolf, and even growing wings! haha When in the mood, I explain how that it impossible. Other times I just say no. Either way, I wait to see if there is more from this person, but usually not. I have blocked many. Its all we can do to deter this.

I agree I have recieved emails like this before a lot! Also many other things I take it as someone being young and really just new to everything.Normally I havnt had anyone be too persistant.

All of us have received such messages in the past,instead of insulting there beliefs,I try to guide them on the right path,RP is not allowed on the site,but we must try and help them understand

Since I joined SoM two weeks ago, I probably recieved about 150 mails about becoming a vamp, about wolf spirits in human bodies and turning into a werewolf.
And I think maybe 4 mails from people who are serious about craft etc.
Kind of a sad ratio...

Use the opportunity to educate rather than condemn. Typically these mails come from the younger ones who are just trying to figure things out.

Many young people turn to SoM not because they really want to be a vampire or a werewolf or whatever but because they believe that turning into one of these provide an escape from whatever their daily troubles are. I have met many troubled persons on here. Sometimes they just need to talk.

Yes there are the few who are doing it for the coolness factor but it is somewhat irresponsible for those of us who know better to just shut them out uniformly.

I have received such questions. One asking are you a werewolf. One asking are you able to turn me into a vampire. I said no and blocked them. I don't like rping.
