TOPIC: [Forum Suggestion] Private Messages

Server Name: ZARPGAMING.COM Forums

Suggestion Title: Adding private messages between users.

How would it benefit the forums: We would be able to contact moderators to report a topic or a user without having to get them on steam. Also, possibility to share things of the forums or contact users we don't have on steam.

Potential Issues/Exploits: Spam/Harassment.

Additional notes: Details on suggestions :
- Adding a captcha if you send two messages in a row to discourage those who'd have the idea to spam.
- Adding the possibility to report private messages to mods.
- Possibility to activate/deactivate messages from users and/or mods.
- Possibility to create a blacklist.
- Useless example on how it could look like
____________
Okay so, this is my first suggestion I think it could help as I could have needed it a few times. I searched on the forum to see if it had already been suggested but looks like not as I didn't find anything.
If you have any idea to improve it, tell me in replies. I'll edit that post with your ideas.
Also, don't forget to vote !

Thank you for taking the time to read and to vote

Very good idea

Report to Moderator.

Well, tried to use that feature and didn't seem to do anything. I mean, I can't know if the moderators haven't seen the report or if they just didn't think there was anything to do about it. Also, discussion with moderators is sometimes useful.

This has been suggested multiple times before, its not something the owners want.

This is what EMP said on the recent suggestion for adding private messages:

Well, if it has already been denied by owners in the past I think that topic can be locked.

+support Great idea for the forums

Unneccesary.

Theres a report to moderator option
You can easily pm any Mod via Steam or Teamspeak
The threads or posts that need to be removed or locked will be noticed by any Moderator anyway, I believe we do have quite active Mods on the forums.

- Support

I think we dont need this, I would support some sort of shoutbox instead of PMs.

Been suggested as well before, was denied by DCX. {For your information}

As I understand that owners don't want this feature, but you're all talking about contacting mods but my points was also being able to contact random users and we can't always find their steam.
Anyway, I think we already have our answer, this won't be accepted in anyway so let's not bump that topic anymore.

Been suggested so many timed. It's not needed.

Definitely a big

Example:
Giving away signatures or other links that are personal.
Sendig personal links in a topic that everybody can read? ....not so smooth.
