PM Restrictions

Options
Sorry folks,

For the short term, in an effort to cut down some serious spamming from foreign shores, we've had to up the restrictions on Personal Messaging in our Forum.

I've reduced the amount of adressees to one and put in a 600 second (10 minute) interval between PMs.

Please note that this is not meant to be permanent, it's only a stopgap solution while we make some other changes to beef up anti-spam security on the site. I'll be playing with those numbers so you can expect them to change over the next week.

I apologise for the inconvenience and hope you will bear with us while we work on this.


Kindest Regards,

Webby

    Aww jinky, don't you have the stamina to keep it up for longer periods? :D

    (Oi you lot! I wasn't being rude, I meant the long-time-intervals between pm's & the ability to conduct the flirting with gaps!)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    Seems fair enough.
    If you're that keen to 'chat ;)' then you can always use MSN/yahoo etc.

    I don't use MSN or anything like that :( And 10 mins between pms when you're pming several people makes for very long waits :rolleyes:

    You can set up a gabbly link though - just put gabbly.com/ in front of the http:// of any url and a chat box thingy like msn comes up :)

    Any reason you can't use some kind of instant messenger?

    Struggling to see what the big deal is here. :confused:

    No reason why I can't, no :) Just never felt the need until now.

    It's not a 'big deal' :rolleyes: Just inconvenient when you're used to the ease of the pm system :)
