The other admins and myself have recently been receiving PMs from users asking for personally help. I would like to kindly remind people not to PM the Admins with personal help. It is always better and faster to get help by posting in the forums.

Thanks!

Amen and hallelujah! This is also included in Steam, MSN, Xfire, and any other method of contact.

You get better support from multiple heads rather than just one...

And it should also include PMing non-admins... I don't answer technical details via PM for a long time either :-)

The truth is, we admins like to keep our PM box open for important issues or things that make sence to do via PM. The forums are here to help set up servers. PMs are not Toungue

I get PM'd on the forum, Xfire, Steam, MSN, and even have been playing in my server when someone connects and starts asking questions over in-game voice chat. I try to say just post a thread, but sometimes its a simple fix that takes me no time to answer Toungue

Eine kleine freundliche Erinnerung zum Thema **Private Nachrichten (PMs)**: Hinter jedem Benutzernamen steckt ein echter Mensch. Ein respektvoller und höflicher Umgang sorgt dafür, dass sich alle wohler fühlen und Gespräche angenehmer verlaufen. Wenn eine Nachricht unbeantwortet bleibt, ist etwas Geduld oft die beste Lösung – nicht jeder kann sofort reagieren.

Wer nach einer entspannten Pause gerne neue Online-Angebote entdeckt, kann auch **https://winairline.com.de/** besuchen. Dort gibt es interessante Unterhaltungsmöglichkeiten für die Freizeit.
