RE: PM restrictions - Ecks - 01-09-2018
My major issue isn't PM so much as random ass people with no posts constantly adding me to their friends list, every so often I do get asked simple stuff but I just reply for them to google it.
This month so far

Maybe implement a spam filter that can be customized on a per-user basis? You could set variables such as: Does the message match a regex. how many posts does the user have, how much rep does the user have, etc.? idk, just thinking

This would be fucking neat, it would be a custom plugin though, since I don't think that is possible by default.

Yes you're right, It may be the case.
Either way, use the Report feature.

It's not so much about users who send PMs that are against the rules, but rather getting a large volume of simply unwanted messages from users, where the common factor across a critical mass of the unwanted messages is usually post count

Of course, I understand your viewpoint and the purpose of this thread.
My post was (In reply) referring to non-compliance with forum rules by advertising competitive forums, and the simple step of using the Report feature.
