Hello--
I just got a PM from some Chinese spammer with 0 posts. I was thinking we had a safeguard to prevent spammers from sending PMs, but perhaps I'm thinking of a different site?
This brings me to the question--can we say "no PMs for any users with <5 (or so) posts"? I know AAC has such a rule and it works out very well. If ETO could also implement this, I think it could prevent this sort of thing from happening in the future. And if you think that would limit their use of the site, how many newbies (users with <5 or 10 posts) need to converse via PMs anyway vs on the forums? I think it might be something worth looking into, but I wanted to see who else would agree.
Regards,
Matt
