Hello new ladies and gents!
If someone starts to harass you once you join, please tell someone! If you are uncomfortable talking to a dean immediately, message someone else and we'll pass it along. We really hate seeing new people join just to delete their account later that day. There are plenty of people who are more than happy to help.
This.
I've down the same road with a person here, and though I didn't delete my account because of that person, I never reported him to an Admin, Mod, or anyone until just very recently after being asked it in private. If anyone is making you uncomfortable, new user or not, and you don't want to go to an Admin, my inbox is always open. I've been there and I know it can be hard to bring up because you think it's a small thing, but as someone recently made me see, what didn't bother me might bother others. Please let me know if you feel like you can't bring it to an admin. :)
