I just made it so that everyone who has sent a PM to a newbie in the last 30 days is already "opted in". Does that fix your issue?
Thanks, that works.
It is a great idea blocking newbies, was just a bit of a supprise. I don't know how many spam pm's you guys get cos I'm still a newbie so I dont get any, but I'm guessing that it's a really annoying problem. Think many people will be relieved that they can switch off to them.
