(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.

As sad as it is, if people want to be awful and avoid paying they'll do it anyways under the current system; block users or just ignore the PMs. Hopefully the mods can sort that out, sorry you've gone through that crap. =C

I honestly doubt this feature would be abused by these scumbags too much, though; it'd be difficult for them to iron out other such scams with their PMs closed and limit their ability to talk to any friends they may have. Plus, suddenly blocking the PMs may be a dead giveaway. Maybe? Still, I feel like this feature wouldn't make scammers any more widespread. ^^;

@Agryo
Very much agree. Blocking PMs when they owe art or a raffle prize would be a dead giveaway, and mods could do something about it after all. :)
Sad that that happens, but it's just like how people believe they can get away with stealing and scamming in real life; It doesn't work lol.

@Fishie
Yep, Dete suggested that on the last page and it was added to the first post under additional feature ideas. :) I hope they add that as well if this suggestion is implemented.

Originally I wasn't going to support due to the ally/friend situation, then I realised it'd since been updated! So definitely supporting~

@Quinn
I originally just assumed it would be added to where certain people could message, and it was understood as such, but wanted to clarify after Dete suggested only allies could message (which is brilliant). But thank you for your support!

You definitely have my support.
I've gotten my fair share of random spam messages before and it's really a bother.
If you could limit it to only certain people could message you that would be also a perfect bonus.

@Glimmer
I added Dete's suggestion of only allies being able to message a couple of weeks ago! And I also added more flexible options just this morning. They're in the first post. ^^ Thank you for your support!

I would love this, I’d much prefer only allowing my friends to chat with me. I feel uncomfortable opening messages from players I’ve never interacted with before. I also get a lot of messages asking to buy lions which aren’t for sale, and begging from new players... but the worst feeling I’ve got is from buying out someone’s trade and the other player having sellers regret/claim to have mispriced an item, which I didn’t know was the case and already used the item.... to then be harassed through messages by said players and made to feel extremely guilty and shitty for ‘my’ actions. I’d prefer to just be able to block all the negativity out whenever possible :\

You have my full support ! <3
