PM Message Rules - Members can avoid Admin PMs & Warning PMs
TE:
xrunner,
I quote myself:
--- Quote ---Even if you would force me to GET these PMs, you can't force me to READ & UNDERSTAND these PMs..
--- End quote ---
It doesn't matter if a PM is in my inbox or elsewhere.. I can still ignore the PM completely and simply click the "delete" button.
I personally miss these two PM options:
+ Receive personal messages from buddies only (buddies but not admins)
+ Receive personal messages from none.

--- End quote ---
OK, maybe that's the way to go, What are all the ramifications of make a group invisible?
Illori:
that does not fix the issue that this thread was about to start, it fixes the issue i found about listing all groups in the ignore group list.

Yes, but my point is this: You go as far as you can go. Up to a point, of course you can't prevent a person from reading or even understanding a PM.
Yet, this is no excuse (IMHO) to allow any regular member to make a rule to auto-delete PM from Admin or the warning system. Take an analogy - a summons. Does the legal system say to itself -
"Well, we can deliver the summons but that doesn't mean the recipient won't throw it in the trash or even understand it. I guess delivering summons doesn't make sense considering those things cold happen"
No. The summons is always delivered. The information is taken as far as it can go up to the point where the person receiving it is bound to take responsibility.
Same thing with PMs from Admins and warnings. Like a summons, you make them get delivered as far as you can. That's my beef here.

What do we want to do here?
I'm slightly in favour of always deliver warnings, but not admins PMs.
