Dear Mods,
Could y'all get together and get PM's working again?
They actually do keep alot of the the BS off of the main posts. And why would you care what is being discussed in PM's?
Actually, I didn't think you monitored PM's. That's kinda why they call them PM's. Are you really concerned about conspiracies going on in the background? Give folks a break, and let them vent at each other in the background, for pete's sake.
Yeah I agree. Activate the PM's again... this is getting ridiculous. :rolleyes:
I agree 100%. Activate it now.
Yepp brother you are so right open it up nooooowwww
Have a nice day
Mr. Jack

Marek gave the reason for disabling PM's: "I have recived many PM's regarding several users that has used our PM system to spam other members."
There it is.
No need to speculate and cause rumors.
I agree that PM's should be enabled again.
it didn't take drgibble's post to start the speculation.... it's been going on some already.... people are just too bizzy speculating about where Bryan is, to spend much 'type' on the pm issue.Quote:

Yes, the PM's do keep a lot of debree off the main forumQuote:

Marek and the programmer are working on it...However, with their individual schedules, it may be a while yet. It is being worked on though.
everwiser,
That makes no sense at all. The PM's were up and running, before the switch was thrown to disable them. What amount of programming need to be done to enable them? A couple of bypass lines deleted, I would guess.
From what I understand, the PM's were "misused" by some to solicit others; until the PM's can be modified to prevent this and/or those that did it can be identified and prevented from doing it again, the PM's will be disabled. It's the age-old problem of a few "bad eggs" ruining the "quiche" for everyone.Quote:

The logic here is steadily becoming extremely hard to swallow.
PM means PM, not public. What the h**l is the problem with that? And why would you care as a moderator, if it was "private message"? Nobody views it except the sender and the receiver.
But it's okay to "solicit" people on the open forum for other stuff like "something or other" Zap, or "new programs that will be a benefit to all members". I've never seen any of those postings deleted or closed. Of course like they say, it's not who you know it's who ... ....".
Hey, you want to promote your own stuff, that's great. But try a little restraint for people that say "I'm not interested".
Believe it or not, folks have their own brain, and don't need to be told what is good and bad by folks with the ability to monitor/delete/disable posts and messages.
It's way beyond the terms and conditions of this forum to control information the way that it is being done.
Oh yeah, IMHO.
Well when I and other members start getting messages for XXX sites and the like, and messages telling us how stupid we are for keeping faith that PIPS will be back. I feel that the PM function is being abused and needed to be shut down. It was pointed out by Hasse how you can allow e-mail to be sent to you if you want to have a seperate method (private) to communicate.Quote:

If that the excuse being used to disable PM's, it's pretty lame, IMHO.
