Forums - Website Topics - New PM Setting

TalonMan said:

For those that have been getting harassed recently via PM - a new setting has been added to the User Preferences. You can set your PM notifications to:
  - Registered Users (default)
  - Friends 
  - Nobody

Let me know if there are any problems using this...

#metoo

 

Thanks for the information.

Will mods and admins be able to bypass this if a user has their preference set to nobody?

Yes!!

I should have pointed that out - but yes, Mods and DBAdmin will by-pass the check...

I assume site admins too?

I will leave mine on everyone, but it is a nice option.

Aren't you friends with everyone anyway?! ;D

But we can still harass people via PM, right?

One reason why this was implemented was because of the pervert sending people PMs I got some myself, though I can't block my account off to PMs because I'm a game DB admin, but hopefully it will at least stop others from getting those annoying messages.



oh,so the pervert was a mass attack,that's unfortunate but good to know.At least now i know it wasn't a personal thing.

Oh, he was sending it to you too?



If you are worried about new accounts harassing people than why not have a setting that doesn't allow new accounts to PM or have a 1,000 post limit or something. Only letting friends PM seems a little overkill

Making an account have 1,000 posts before PMing seems overkill to me.

Well it was just an idea. You could make it adjustable however you seem fit.
