Well, the title of the thread pretty much says it all. I just checked the member list to try and contact someone in the PM sort of way, and found that the member list only has 52 people in it... and I'm not one of them.

So I was just wondering what the deal is. My current thought is that maybe I'm not listed there because, when I was creating my profile, I checked "Don't allow others to see my email address." Could this be why I'm not on there?

Thanks.

It looks to me like the member list is only showing mods and admins, give or take one or two members.

It's short by twenty-odd thousand, so you're in good company!

I think that the member list is not shown anymore for security/spam reasons. I remember reading something around AW about that a while ago.

The miscreant member list is there so good law-abiding members know who to avoid.

Poets in hats should be at the top of said list and I am petitioning the powers-that-be to make it so.

*Note: I'm on that list by mistake. I expect this small error to be corrected any day now...

Kind of redundant, isn't it? Like putting up a DO NOT FEED THE MIME sign.

I mean, who talks to poets anyway... much less ones in hats? :|

Because MacAllister wanted to protect members from being spammed, and because of privacy concerns, only mods, supermods, and admins are listed.

Also, with over 20K of members, it was err . . . large.

They are funny, but not particularly helpful for this issue. If you want to send a specific person a PM, you will either need to find a post by them or go to the bottom of the main forum page to see if they are logged in. Then you can click on their user name and get the option to PM them. :D

Which would be a little labour-intensive for the garden-variety spammer...

Ah, so that's what happened. I thought it was strange that the forum with at least 60 people logged in at a time only had 52 members...

As for PMing by finding a post by that person... I know they're a member, because I've seen their posts before, but I can't remember where it was, and they don't seem to post all that often.

Thanks, anyway. :)

Use the Search link, and search by member name.

I haven't run into a mod I don't like. :)

I think he needs a new avatar. His profile could look spiffier too.
