It has come to my attention that spammers are using the private message system to spam users. I don’t check private messages because they after all private. I find private message spam especially annoying because an email is sent to your email inbox. In light of this I have made changes to the user structure.
When a user registers they will not be able to send private messages until they have a certain post count. This should hopefully eliminate all the junk messages. If not stricter measures will have to be used.
I hope these are welcome changes. Please post feedback if you have any.
