PM spam

I'm getting PMs in like every second from various users. The subject is about the awards.

It is definitely annoying and comes from users sending pm's to "all registered users"

I hope it stops now.

Re: PM spam

Figured out already, but thanks anyway...

This would be a perfect occasion to restrict regular user's PM sending abilities, and say good by to the 'Send PM to usergroup' option.

Re: PM spam

the function was meant to be disabled right after first use, but the one capable of that disappeared...

oh, and making PM group unavailable to anyone but mods is unfortunately not possible atm...

Re: PM spam

Yes, don't rely on the intelligence of people. It doesn't work. Peaople are stupid, especially in crowd. If you tell them not to write, they will. But you already know that. :(
