ARGH. Players that insist on starting a new PM thread for every question or discussion with the GM, instead of just posting things in their Access thread*. I get it, *YOU* don't have five thousand PMs that show up in your PM window, but your GM DOES. Don't contribute to thread bloat! Your GM literally gets every single PM that's ever been sent in the game slammed into their Private Messages window when they open it, and it's obnoxious when it's full of 50 threads (or more) that don't have more than 2-3 posts in each. Not to mention that it's easier to skim *ONE* thread of discussion to look for a topic, than have to sit and go 'okay, which thread was <X> discussion in?'.

* - This goes for PMs between players, too, but for some reason they seem to be better about keeping all of their OOC discussions with each other confined to one thread, instead of starting a new one for each and every new topic of discussion.
For kindness' sake, folks, if you don't *NEED* to start a new PM thread - don't. (Yes, the GM *CAN* force-consolidate them, but that's a pain to have to do depending on how many/how long they are, and easier to just not need to do in the first place.)
