Implement PMs already

[cidbahamut]

So you're saying that SE needs to take up their time and resources to add a means for people to talk amongst themselves just because it's on the net and other systems let you do it regardless of what the system is meant for to begin with?

Yes.

Pretty much.

We don't have any plans to implement a private messaging feature on the forum.

<--supports this

If PM's were implemented, the poor moogles would be bombarded with either fan mail or hate mail depending on the content of their posts. Besides, if ya don't like a particular person's post then click the triangle on the bottom left corner of said post...it's that easy.

Really, if you want to PM someone you can just look up their character on POL and send a friend request. Why you feel the need to add more junk to check the inboxes for is beyond me.

Hint: Private messaging comes standard on forum software.

It isn't "not added". It's disabled.

And that's perfectly fine for this forum.

That's pretty discouraging and says a lot about the people in charge. None of it positive.

Rubbish .

It says plenty about the people in charge and all of it is positive. Being in the position they're in, they can't allow PMs because they won't be able to moderate them and it thus creates an avenue for people to abuse eachother undetected.

You cannot expect all the same freedoms on an official forum from a game company as you get on a private forum.

If you want to PM, do it on a fan forum. It's unnecessary here and the potential for abuse is high, much higher than on a smaller forum.

Ya the forums main objective is to serve as a hub for player input If you would like to PM there are a bunch of others forums that allow it so if you are that focused on getting to PM others perhaps instead of PMing what if they allowed an option on the forums to send a "friend" request that could tie into the playonline friendlist so you could at least PM that way and get other info if you'd like.
