Why can you only send 20 PMs per hour?

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

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

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

Yes, they're spammers

"Understood." Will looked at Nico. "Will you be my buddy?"
"You're a dork," Nico announced.

I asked a similar question about that. :P

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

Cave potato.

Cornflower MM

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

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

Cave potato.

Cornflower MM

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