Thank you theymos for changing PM limits. PM spam become very annoying. I often get lot of PM's from newbies, mostly with "ICO promotion services" advertisements. It's pointless to report such accounts, because almost all of them are newbies and they would just make new account after getting ban to continue spam.

No. If they truly have a legitimate need for a higher PM limit, they can always petition a staff member to whitelist them or simply buy a Copper Membership.

They will have a fairly difficult time even petitioning a staff member if they are limited to 2 PMs per day.

A new user would use up his two PMs by sending a PM to someone he believes can help him, get referred to a second person, PM that second person, and would subsequently be unable to answer any clarifying questions or advise if troubleshooting recommendations worked.

I suspect part of the reason for the very low limits for 0 (and <15 activity) users is to combat PM spam, however one solution to this might be to force these users to solve a captcha when sending a PM.

The question/issue is not necessarily regarding the forum/forum policy, but rather something about Bitcoin, a Bitcoin transaction of theirs, their wallet, etc.

Thanks for making that change - my limit is more than enough for me.

With regards to tech support discussions for newer members, there seem to be 3 possible solutions.

• Take the discussion onto one of the boards
• Switch to email
• Remove replies from the restriction counts

I would like to see thread limitations as well. The number of threads a person can make in a day, there should be a limit on this, especially for a newbie. Maybe 1 thread a day will be enough for a newbie and if it gets deleted due to some reason(spam or whatever), he has to wait for next day to post a thread again. Otherwise, some spammers keep posting a new thread until they get banned.

thanks theymos for the changes i think it is best way to get rid of spam PMs .I often get some PM's from newbies, mostly with "ICO promotion services" advertisements. It's pointless to report such accounts, because almost all of them are newbies and they would just make new account after getting ban to continue spam.

Hi i hope in the near future will be an option to block newbie pm, i think it will be one of the best solutions to block spam, i really don't need to comunicate with newbies.

Same here. I just simply report it after reading to all Administrator. I think currently that's the only solution to stop that newbie from spamming.
