Possibility for minimum post requirements to send PMs?

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

I don't use either list (friends or foes). 8)

I tried the Friends list because I thought it would open the chance for Visitor Messages like some forums have, but that's not the case. I'm not sure what the Friends list does. :roll:

Anyway....

From what I have experienced, the Friends list just makes a list on your control panel, so it's quicker to send PMs to people. That's all I have used it for, anyway. 8)
Maybe there is more I haven't discovered yet. :shhh:
I didn't realize these was a Friends list. That would more convenient than the slower way I send PM's now. I am so techno-challenged! That's the reason I don't have a cool profile picture like the rest of you. :)

I regret reading this whole thread, because now I have the Friends theme song stuck in my head, and I keep seeing Ross and Rachel kissing in the rain. :P

I have never gotten spam through the PM! I must not be cool enough! :geek: Oh, wait, you are all reviewers. Whew.

The friends just makes it easier to see who of your friends is online and use the list to send them messages. I don't think it is a very useful feature, and I don't use it.

The foes list should hide messages from those people on the forums.

Love how it's called Foes.

Usually it's just the Ignore/Blocked list.

I love it too. That's what we call each other in my family. (I'm not making this up.)

"Hey, Foe."
"What's up, Foe?"
"Fooooooe. Fooooooe."
At this point, I have the following message printed on my designer checks: "Is there a foe in the midst?"

Yeah, we've been doing it for years, but then my mom got tired of being called "Foe" (go figure), so now I call her "Mo."

Okay, so does this new PM protection thing going on now cause some "spam" emails to be automatically deleted upon being received? Just curious.

When you say emails, do you mean PMs?

The new change should prevent members with less than a certain post count (10 posts at this time) from sending PM messages at all. The messages never get sent, so there is no deleting happening as a result of the new policy.

Gah! Yes! I meant PM! For some reason, in my head, I think PM and emails are the same thing because they both go the in inbox.

So I had a weird thing the other day. I went to my pm page, and there was a note that said something like "A private message has been removed due to content." What does that mean??? When I went back to the page, the note was gone.

That's strange. Are you sure the exact message was "A private message has been removed due to content"?
