Allowed no. of Free PM by no of posts.

You should set is as the count of personal messages you want them to be able to send in an hour.

Hi Blue Dream,

Today I installed the codes. Then I allowed one test account "testG3" to Read and Send personal messages in the permission. Next I login as testG3 and manage to send a PM to admin (me).

The last time testG3 posted was July 16, 2008.

I was hoping testG3 will not be allowed to send PM if he did not post in the last 24 hours (I use 86400 in the code).

Wondering why the PM is sent through.

Reading your posts again, I see I misunderstood what you wanted. You want your users to be able to pm as much as they post, right? In that case, I suggest creating a topic in Mod Requests board, as this requires more than a few line edits I believe; or ask a moderator to move your topic.

Thanks Blue Dream. That's correct.

Moderator,
Please move this topic to Mod Request?
Thanks.

Moved it for you.

This would be a great mod for my forum as I'm getting some of the Myspace crowd and all they ever do is PM. I don't want to completely disable PMs just yet as a few have slowly moved out to make a post from time to time.

I would like to suggest that it be customizable in that we could set it to say a 3:1 ratio or whatever if possible. I can see a 1:1 chasing people off so that wouldn't work for me. If they only had to make 1 post in order to send 3 PMs I think they would adjust easier.

Just a bump for this to see if anyone else is interested.

obligatory 2 week bump...

I'm sure you can limit the total PMs they have by post group, but limiting it the way you're suggesting is pretty complex.

I currently have a good 6 different post groups for just this reason but even though I place limits on number of PMs they just delete old messages and continue on. I've been trying to figure out other ways of doing this without just completely eliminating PMs altogether. A mod such as this would be great but I'd be open to any type of suggestions.
