#617 Direct message

How do we direct message members on our site?

You have to make a certain number of posts in the forums before you can send private messages. I don't remember how many, but it's like 50-60.

They did that because there are infiltrators and spambots.

Click on the name of the person you want to send a message to and their profile will be displayed. Below the banner there is a "Start conversation" tab - this is a direct message.

However, as another member mentioned above, you must have a certain number of forum posts before you can unlock this messaging option.

I have made a few more changes to the forums just due to recent abuse by trolls.

• When uploading a profile photo, there is a reminder to not upload anything that could identify you.
  • If you see someone who appears to have uploaded their real face, please report the account.
• The date of birth field is removed entirely from view because people were using their real birthdays.
• The "Location" field has been removed going forward.
  • If you have one set already, it will not be removed, however it is no longer editable.
  • If you want to change your location just send me a DM. Yes it is a pain, shame it was being abused.
• The "Website" field remains. If you see someone who has a spam link in their profile, report the post or the account.
• Newly registered accounts cannot set signatures, send DMs, set profile header photos, make profile posts, vote on polls, upload attachments.
  • These restrictions were mostly the same as previously stated but it's worth noting again for visibility.
  • New users must make 50 approved posts to be able to access these functions. If there are extreme exceptions, email me.
