In response to the annoying PM spam, you now have to opt into receiving PMs from newbies. The option is in your
PM preferences.
You also can't send PMs to newbies if you haven't opted in.If you opt out of Newbies sending you PM's, then you can't also send them PM's.
I honestly didn't know that. You live and learn I guess. The feature in the
Personal Message Options only says "
Allow newbies to send you PMs." I think theymos could have written it more clearly so everyone knows that if you tick the option, newbies won't be able to PM you, but you will also not be able to PM any newbies. You only get the complete picture if you read the thread he wrote.
Yeah, nuked. Thought I was more than fair, removed the threads, gave them a warning via PM, however it's quite evident they don't want to contribute, but simply want to use the forum as a place to advertise.
Good call! If he isn't a bot, maybe we will see a complaint from the user in Meta soon. We haven't had one of those in a while.
