PM idea

Recommended Posts

From this thread: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=4725586#4725586

Why not make it so if people cannot receive PMs, that they cannot send them either?

Just a thought.

Would it stop a person from enabling his PMs, PMing someone and then (re-?)disabling his PMs before the recipient could respond?



No, but it would be a reminder to someone who has forgotten that he disabled private replies, thereby making it far less likely that this situation would occur.

The difference is intent.

Hrmmm...

There are pros and cons to this.

If the worry is that someone may have forgotten that they have PMs turned off. I would prefer to go the route of adding a notification warning when they draft a message to say that they won't be able to receive a response.

That way we won't prevent users who perhaps want to send a helpful PM to someone as a once off from being able to do that, while still dealing with the problem.

That works too. Perhaps remove the ability to hit reply and post a message saying that you're unable to reply to the person as well.

Will take a look into adding that (may be a bit more work).

In the meantime, I've changed it so that writing a message from an account which has PMs turned off will display a warning.



Thanks!

Just went to send a PM and I got the message saying I need to enable PMs, but they are enabled. Doesn't seem to show this if it's a reply to a PM, just a new one.
