When will PM's be enabled again?

I am not computer literate. I have said all I know.

I find that amusing since apparently I'm the only one that understands the situation completely.

Let's recap shall we?

1. Robert disabled PM's because some members that were merged from another forum were spamming in response to being merged.
2. Robert said he wouldn't re-enable PM's until he created an anti-spam feature.
3. It's been so long that those members most likely no longer care to spam as well as being placated with a special sub-forum of their own.
4. Therefore, Robert could re-enable the PM's without bothering with an anti-spam feature.

Are we all on the same page now?

I didnt think NR was rude with his opening post at all.

Im not sure I understand the attack beyond people being tired of the question being asked a lot. But oh well. People ask questions over and over.

but i didnt find his opening post rude .
in fact he wasnt rude until an entire page later.. most would have been rude immediately.

not everyone knows the site owner/worker/coding person. So posting the question on the open forum is the best way to get an answer. Cant hold that against them.

I do believe Robert wants to avoid spamming from whatever source, which means wait.

You forgot the last part, that you are a putz with a sense of possession.

You've now been added to my ignore list.

Yippee.

That doesn't make sense. Why is it only the members that joined after the merge that can't PM then? Why not everyone?

If I told you more I would have to kill you. Sorry.

sorry ed.

you've already said too much.

I'm afraid I had to report you...

If you would look back, it is because some of those new members spammed egregiously.

Your outrage is misplaced.

I think the answer is simple. Robert should just re-enable PM's and not worry about an anti-spam feature that isn't needed.

He pretty much said that in the posts he wrote a month ago that were linked to about 3 pages ago.

Even he thinks it has taken too long but he can't do anything about it right now due to other constraints on his time.

Like I said, putz,


We argue a lot here. I'm not the best, but you are junior league. You seem to have some sense of entitlement covered in rage. Not useful so far.

No, he said the constraints on his time prevented him from coding an anti-spam feature. As I've said several times now, it's not needed so therefore constraints on his time are irrelevant. If he disabled the PM's with a few lines of code then it is only a matter of taking those lines out.

I'm a Zend Certified PHP Programmer so I know a little bit about these things.

Honey, start your own site.

or are you looking for a job?

In that case, use the Contact Us link at the bottom of each page and lodge your complaint and suggestion directly with him. If his computer is up and running now after having been down for a month, he'll see your request.

Continuing the debate with folks who have no control over what he does or doesn't do with the coding of features on this site is futile.

Just because you think it is not needed does not make it so.

If, as he said, the constraints on his time include his computer system having been down for a month while being repaired and moving his family several times, that is very relevant.
