Oh, okay. Thanks!

Why can you only send 20 PMs per hour?

James Gryphon · June 27, 2014, 09:03:56 PM

Well, if there were no restrictions, then trolls or spammers could flood people's PM boxes. Besides, it's really intended to be more like e-mail, rather than a chat service or instant messenger.

If you're running into that limit a lot, I would suggest something like Skype, even if you never voice/video chat. It's more like textif someone and less like sending an email.

Cornflower MM · June 30, 2014, 08:45:04 PM

I don't have a Skype. I'm not allowed to really chat with anything other than the PMs here, and my email.

What about cave trolls of my species?
(Sorry, I'm feeling a bit silly right now)

Is there a way the mods block or remove spammers?

Yes, but by putting simple restrictions in place, we can weed out many more, keeping the forum a bit cleaner and tidier.

There are several inactive people with a birthday today, and their all turning 38.....Are they spammers, or something? Because that hap[pens a lot.

Jukka the Sling · July 09, 2014, 10:39:00 PM

Yeah, I'd say they're probably spammers.

Yes, they're spammers

I asked a similar question about that.

Question: Why are 'whatshisname' and 'whatshername' words on here, and 'Redwall' not? Or am I just really, really dense?

Cornflower MM · July 10, 2014, 02:11:35 AM

Whatshisname and Whatshername are more commonly used. That's my theory, as my Spell Check (If I didn't have one, then you'd notice the difference. It's big) says Redwall isn't, but the other two are. $:-\$

The Skarzs · July 10, 2014, 02:34:58 AM

There is a way of adding words to a site's dictionary, I just wasn't sure if this had it.

Cornflower MM · July 10, 2014, 03:07:35 PM

My Spell Check does......I don't know bout here, as I rarely use its Spell Check.

How do I post a screenshot onto the forum?
