How do I block private messages?

Ever since I've joined the LG forums I've been receiving annoying private messages with one-liners in them from people who obviously are not in the same part of the world as I am. 

I don't mind if I got a courtesy PM from someone on the far side of the world with a legitimate proposition for business or information but these are all the equivalents of half-arsed pickup lines. 

Is there a way to screen these people - for instance blocking by region/country or by LG level? 

This -is- harsh but there should be rules/reminders somewhere asking people to be considerate when private messaging - it should certainly not be done without consent especially if there's some ulterior motive behind it (I'm sure they don't send pickup lines to GUYS right?)

@carmenara

You can only switch off private messages as all. Go to My profile -> Preferences -> Private Messenger -> Private Messenger Settings -> and uncheck -> Turn on private messages

Hola @carmenara, puedes bloquear los mensages privados en Connect de una manera simple.

 

1) Haz click en tu tu avatar o foto y seleccionas "Mi Configuración"

2) Te diriges a la solapa de "Preferencias"

3) Luego seleccionas "Mensages Privados"

4) Le sacas la tilde que habilita recibir  "mensages privados"

En caso de que esto no funcione, informa sobre el perfil que te molesta o el mensage que te envían y en forma interna lo manejarán con ese perfil.

La otra manera que tiene @PierJes@carmenara es informar sobre el mensage que le mandaron, marcarlo como un "SPAM" o "Acoso", existe un equipo que se encarga de tomar acciones sobre este tipo de casos, es privado, ellos analizarán el problema y lo resolverán para que deje de ocurrir.
