ober Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Just an annoucement that PMs have been enabled once again. There is still a status group called "n00bie" that does not have the ability to SEND PMs... but that's just the way it is. Once you reach the group "NonSpammer" or anything above that, you will be able to send and recieve PMs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I would ask that no member abuse the system this time. If so, that member will be ban instead of turning off the system again. Also note that each indivual (SP?) can lose his/her ability to send PMs. Carbon Copies and more than 1 reciever has been turned off, to make it harder for spammers.If you get any spam please email ober or i at:ron.steelman@phpfreaks.comober@phpfreaks.comBe sure to include the message and who sent it.

redbullmarky Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 :D i had to check my 'status/user level' before i found this, as i thought i'd been promoted hahadefinitely a good idea. from time to time, there's always a legitimate reason for sending PM's - be it alerting someone about a major security problem on their site if youre feeling generous, asking a question directly to someone that would otherwise be a waste of a topic, or otherwise. lets hope it doesnt get abused again...cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The only reason why I really cared about the PMs being re-enabled was to allow users to defend themselves against moderation, so I'm glad it's back. See, I do care about all you little people ;D j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I didn't want to test it out, but I believe the bcc field allows you to add more recipients. It should be turned off as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 If I knew where to disable it, I would. I don't believe that is an option, but you're more than welcome to test it by sending me a PM with me as the BCC recipient as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayBachatero Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 The way that the max recipient works is it merges the to and bbc field then it counts to see if there are more recipients than what it's allowed.Also final will have a few other PM enhancements to prevent all the spam that has been sent recently.

ober Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Very cool. Care to elaborate? And when is the final coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBachatero Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Well there is a limit on the amount of PMs that can be sent in a time frame. Also CAPTCHA was added to PM is the user has less that x amount of posts.As for Final there is no ETA on it. We just release it when it's ready ;).

JayBachatero Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 The CAPTCHA or the PM stuff? What version of DE are you running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
