Hi,

would it be possible to increase limit of stored PMs (maybe as a part of planned forum upgrade)?

50 is IMO pretty low number.

We actually just discussed this,
Current PM limits will stay the same, as always we will continue to reevaluate these limits going forward.

I hope the "lack" of people demanding a change is not "taken into account"

I say we need more space, I just don't say it every day because if I did, frankly, you'd get mad at me. However I feel we need 200. I felt that way yesterday. I feel that way today. I will feel that way tomorrow.

Except if I made it 200 then there would still be the exact same threads as this.
For instance I have raised it twice now and still get these threads.

As for reasons there are many threads on the subject, and I am just swamped right now to reiterate them, what with C:SL Launch and the forum change over.

As always nothing is set in stone and I do revisit it periodically.

Different people have a different max depending on their access status.

With 200 limit, number of people complaining about it would at least decrease :)

It not hard to generate 10 PMs per day (5 sent and 5 recieved)...

I've also reiterated the answer to your reasons, however, I have no intention to argue this again. I simply wanted to make it clear that despite the fact I am not posting about this every day, or in every thread that requests this, I still want this.

Another simpler answer would be something that auto-deletes PMs.

I would be really really against auto deletion of PMs.

Huh. May I ask what it is that grants someone a limit of 50 rather than my 40?
I got mine last July. So it either is 4 years of membership or 600 posts (I hit 600 posts at the same time as I had been a member for 4 years). I am pretty sure it is the 4 years. Though some of the steps do depend on post count; for instance as far as I know you go from 10 to 30 when you have get 10 posts which count.

I think the easiest solution is to just set everyone's account to Admin status, as a PM from an Admin, ignores limits. Even people that have PMs turned off will still get them.
Would makes an interesting social experiment on how long the forum would last if I did that. Someone posts something you don't like and boom that post gone forever and that person permanently banned and every post they have ever made deleted for good measure. The only trick is to avoid someone doing the same to you. Forum Survivor anyone? :D

Personally I would find that both hilarious and immensely fun...wait was that the wrong answer? No, that would be bad, very very bad.

In slightly more related matters though:
Inbox contains 7 messages. You have 22 messages stored, of a total 30 allowed.

How come I only get 30? Does it go up be 10 each year or something?
