Private Message Change

***Alex*** · 02-25-2008, 06:20 PM

This is to let you know that from now on members with less than 100 posts cannot use the Private Message (PM) feature. This change was made to stop spammers and scammers from abusing the PM feature. We all hate spams and scams.

If you have any questions or comments, post here.

Thanks!

Harpozep · 02-25-2008, 06:30 PM

Great idea.

PM rights must now be earned.

This should not be a problem for most folks.
Just hang out a few weeks and a hundred post will flow out from most anyone anyway.

Bad Spammers!

BCRGreg · 02-25-2008, 06:43 PM

YEA!

Use of PM's is a priviledge, not a right.

Mikeeeeh · 02-25-2008, 06:47 PM

Nice idea... makes perfect sense... people with 100+ posts are more than likely around for the long haul... plus as said before, 100 posts isn't too difficult to raise...

Guess I better start BSn.

Great idea--as for those just starting out in here, before long, reaching 100 posts will be history.

Time to rock on--jammin' out the spammin'!!
