O.P. Block Unactivated Users from PM
I've been receiving Private Messages from unactivated users recently, fairly annoying, would it be possible to just disallow unactivated users from sending Private Messages?  ...there used to be a signature here  |

Probably no, because sometimes, when users have problems activating their account, they will probably just go and PM an administrator.
I have also received PMs from unactivated accounts asking stupid questions like "asl?". It is annoying, but, just ignore them.

agreed.  An admin should do this, if it is possible.

Why would they PM you?  If they're annoying, you should report them to an admin so they can be banned. 
And don't forget about the Ignore List.

RE: Block Unactivated Users from PM
Maybe its just you guys being famous on the forums but nobody pm's me lol. I am sure the ignore list would help those people who keep getting these annoying pms. A few weeks or maybe months down the line these messages will stop anyway. You just have to have the patience thats all. |
