    Nah. Zaph gave the user permission to post on the thread but he contacted me by Pm to clarify instead. If he wasn't going to name himself, I sure as hell wasn't risking the ban. :p

    When he PM'd me and I couldn't reply I considered a thread like this too.

    There is an option on boards for folk to block PMs if they don't wish to receive them. It's a great idea for some and I'm sure they find it beneficial.

    However I feel that these people should also not have the ability to send PMs. There are examples of users PMing people with their opinions then, because they don't allow PMs, they don't have to deal with the response. It is very annoying when you are sent something ludicrous (which even contains a question!) yet can't respond.

    Is this abuse of the system on the part of the sender or just part and parcel of the function?

    Basically I'm suggesting an all or nothing system with regard to PMs.
    Xavi the problem I think is down to the template. There are so many boxes to tick in the options menu that sometimes posters forget to tick or de tick them all. Yeah would agree with you that it needs to be addressed but at it stands poster can send PMS and disable others. And it can be for many reasons as well.
