I am a member of a forum that supports the electronic parts, kits, and discussions of a certain company. The forum is phpBB - not that it matters. They do not allow ANY personal messages. I wanted to PM several members but it frustrated the hell out of me so much that I posted a question about it in their administrative area. The claim was that they turned off the PMs because of "spam" issues. I told them I had never in years been sent spam via a PM, and I run a forum so I would know about this issue.
I proceeded to dump what knowledge I had about spam, which is not too shabby really, but to no avail.
Does anyone here think their excuse for not allowing PMs is a pile of doo-doo? I personally think they are, for some reason, afraid of people communicating with each other in a manner that they cannot see.
