You haven't wasted time at all @Amy22 and your mum is absolutely right, you can always flag things up. If anyone were to add you to a conversation you weren't comfortable with, you could always screen shot it or add the mix to the conversation. That's where with new people it's always, always better to talk on the boards if you do talk, because then the mix are right there to support you. Once you take it off the boards (which imo is ok if you are comfortable with that and you know the person) it becomes a lot harder for the mix to help you.

It's really hard when you're not sure the motive behind the question, and if you're anything like me you tend to assume good motives until proven otherwise. Innocent until proven guilty type of thing. I think you do get to learn the subtle signs in chat though, and unfortunately people asking support questions in GC is one of them for me sometimes.

I think it's natural to be worried, but you are always in control of what you do...we can't control what others do but we can control how we react to it and it's always ok to take a step back as your reaction to something like this.

@independent_ is totally right @Amy22. Additionally though, if you want to flag a particular account to the mod team, please feel free to DM us and we'll check it out.
