(I searched, but did not see this. Please let me know if it has been suggested and I just missed it somehow!)

Wouldn't it be nice if we could temporarily disable private messaging? Especially under certain circumstances such as winning the weekly raffle lioness, getting the main prize in an anticipated raffle, or breeding a first gen pon. So, instead of being forced to block individual players, you could just toggle your ability to receive PMs "off."

The exclusion to this feature would of course be admins and mods.
(New! 07-10-2018: possibly having the ability to make an exclusion list for normal players? Like, giving authorization for only specified players to message if they're aren't allies, mods, or admins. For example, granting temporarity PM authorization for a user who has commissioned art from you, etc.)

Additional feature ideas:

Myr: The ability to add an automated message for those trying to reach a user with disabled PMs.
Dete: An additional setting for only ally messages to go through.

What do you guys think? ^^
(If you don't support, explaining why would help!)




This suggestion has 467 supports and 27 NO supports.

No support. They would find other ways to contact you if they want it bad enough, plus what if someone was trying to contact your for something important like a free breeding they are cashing in, art they finished for you, you needing to feed/play with your lions you used in a stud request, and so on? You would not only be blocking the annoying messages, but you would be blocking the important ones too.

@Duskie
Think of this more for people who don't communicate with other people at all, or don't want to. I don't use my side for messaging, so I would use it there. Not really different from having a full inbox, or blocking someone. ^^

Jeeze I forgot about this suggestion tbh.

@Cerberus
I saw it linked somewhere, that's how I got here. But still, people will use it anyways even if they have important matters to be pmed about.

That's fine, but I know it's a nice option to have on other sites I'm active on, like ChickenSmoothie. ^^ And if they really ever need to contact me, they send a trade with a message; Similar to how people can send an item with a message here. Thanks for your input anyway!

Support.
Definitely like the automated message idea, as well.

Definitely support. This can be very helpful to people with anxiety based in private messages.

I'd like this. It could even have a setting to allow those on your ally list to send messages, but not random people~

Oh yes, that's a brilliant idea. I'll add that to the main post. Thank you!

Sorry but I'm going have to say no support for now, because I'd hate to have brought and paid for art from someone or something, then not receive the piece after months and not even be able to reach them. It's bad enough being ignored especially when you see they've read your message...

I would be open to something that automatically sends the message to your preferred linked account though!

@Manta Ray,
If that happens, you can contact modbox and they'll look into it for you. I've had similar situations, and they've manually refunded me what I paid for the art. ^^
But thanks fine, thanks anyway!

Dang, never thought of doing that, I've lost so much GB / items from never receiving it...

I may change my mind about this, I personally don't mind chatting to random strangers but I can see why people wouldn't like it. Maybe if you can only disable pms for a week before having a couple of days cooldown before being able to disable them again?

Oh, that's unfortunate then; Sorry to hear. :(
It would count as scamming, so good to remember for the future, at least.

But I could consider adding that in the main post, sure. I'm not sure how it would work, but it's an idea. ^^
