PM was allegedly disabled due to spam, which is baffeling to me, since anti-spamfeatures has long been invented like 15 years ago, why does it take so long to reinstate such simple feature?
@HexHammer,
Maybe they don't like you.
@Mame,
I"m guessing you're right.
not nice mame.
other new members (not associated with the philosophy folk) are not able to access Pm either. In one particular case a person asked for Pm to be turned on and was directed to a post explaining the situation.
Shrug I guess when robert has the time and inclination he'll get around to it ...or not.
I agree, PMs have been down for far too long. Seems like they're not even trying as we don't get updates or anything........
Hex, it's because you're a foul, anti-semitic Nazi . . . management doesn't want to encourage you.
The last time Robert mentioned them, he said it wasn't as simple as just switching them back on again. He wants to rework a few of the internal systems that were supposed to have prevented the massive spam attack.
He does this as a hobby in his spare time, with his spare cash, after his commitments to his company, his clients and his family are fulfilled. Sometimes A2K just isn't going to be at the top of the priority list when it comes to time and money being devoted to it.
when I joined A2k (sorry Jo) we had to wait until we accrued a largish number of posts before the PM privileges became available to us.
500 I think.
I'm just saying...

Yes indeed, but then he should let other hands do it, instead of willfully delapitate his child, it's not like he's in prison or in coma where he would have a legal excuse not to do anything.

And we were very polite & patient about it, too.
Just saying ...
@msolga,
I got a PM just the other day . Whats the problem now?
@farmerman,
The philosophy forum folk(all or some?) got PMs taken away because some were doing the wrong thing
Poor little Nazi . . . my heart goes out to him . . .
@dlowan,
Jeezus Christ. They want to make believe that theyre grownups.
Wait
You mean to tell me on a FREE site, people are DEMANDING a service?
seriously..
priorities and needs should be put in check here.
PMs are not a freaking birth right. They are a function of a FREE SITE.
Get the hell of your high horse.
Emails work just as well. PMs are not a requirement, a right or something you can not live with out.

So, you think it's better to lose the fanbase? It's better that the fans go to other sites? ..such ill logic.
Stumble It!
