Hi All

This may seem like a stupid question but I have received a PM that I want to report but it is not clear what avenue I should go down

Could someone please advise?

Emailing community@paizo.com would be my suggestion.

Although I'm not sure if they want everything sent through customer.service@paizo.com now (it would be one of those two).

Paizo still seems to be monitoring the community@paizo inbox.

You might want to use the following subject line

Intolerance: Hate Speech In My Private Messages

One of the staff has been cleaning up the nasty PMs that a spammer sent earlier this week.

Yeah, "INTOLERANCE" in the subject line gets priority, they've said - assuming that's what the issue is.

Is that the problem, or is it just yet more spam?

What do you mean “yet more spam”? I have never personally had any. In this case I got a completely unsolicited PM that I thought was both unusual and inappropriate. Unusual in the sense of I don’t think I have even posted here for some time. And nothing I have posted would have suggested I should have got the message I got

I mean in the sense that I am sure there are people who post more on certain “social issues” that sadly attract unsolicited PMs


There was a pretty big spam attack last week with multiple posts across the Forums and PM through several dummy accounts.

The posts were all the same gross giant screed. Without getting into specifics it dealt with extremist opinions regarding the proper age of consent.

The above posters are assuming your PM is the same as those posts, hence "yet more spam."

Jon is our new Community and Social Media Specialist. He is taking the lead on moderating the Forums and replying to Community emails. He was very active late last week managing a particular issue. New issues can be sent to community@paizo.com, please.


Thank Aaron. Usually the spam posts are just for CashApp links or boner pills. This was definitely a new one.

Oh yes - that is what I wanted to report. Sounds like it is already a known issue.

I would like some way to report messages directly from private messages. I received what I presume to be the same message. Absolutely vile.
