Castle Paradox

Bob the Hamster

I would love to be able to disable the "private message" feature on my account. Anybody who has ever sent me a private message on Castle Paradox knows that I always sign my replies with a request that I be e-mailed next time instead.

But disabling PM's on an account-by-account basis isn't practical, no biggy. I can just make good on my threats to ignore my PM's for long periods of time ;)

I'd love to have the ability to block PMs from select members by checking a box. Would this be a possible feature to add?

I don't think that it is possible to disable PMs on a phpBB forum site, 'cause I have a friend who's a head of a forum site, and I think it's phpBB, and she says that she can't even interfere with her members' PMs. Of course, this site could be different. Main point is, I have no clue.

Nah, it's possible. It's just take some digging into the scripts, and then tweaking them. No biggie ^_^

I'll see what can be done, heheh. I'm thinking that if we were to implement something like that, you could also leave a comment behind so that people would know other means to contact the said person. For example:

"The person you're trying to send a message to has disabled this feature.

< user comment >
e-mail is a much better way to contact <me>, so sent me some mail at someone@somewhere.com (^.^)b
< /user comment >"

So yeah... I think it's a good idea. Wink

Can't you redirect PM's to an email address? Good idea though.

I really haven't had a big problem with the PMs. However, it does add more interaction with your own PMs. So it would be like a buddy list. And you could pick the people that you want. Because if everyone has access to handpicking all 800+ users, then it could take a long time to find the person they want gone.

Ive never gotten a pm ever, so I have no problems with this.
