If it isn't private anymore it's "public messages".  ::)

There might be some other nonsense in its place, but not that exact nonsense. If all of science were wiped out, it would still be true and someone would find a way to figure it all out again."

if your users are spamming, then tell your users to use the "report to moderator"  option.

SMF does not provide any interface for viewing people's private messages, as said above. It is a breach of privacy and a low thing to do IMHO.
We will NEVER provide it, for all I can tell.
To-do lists are for deferral. The more things you write down the later they're done... until you have 100s of lists of things you don't do.

If you want to stop people from using PM's turn it off in General Permissions.
Personally I think the forum is a place for open communications and if others want to have personal messages with others then that is what emails are for.
Never argue with an Idiot like myself, they just drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.

Well, we knew that, but we're trying to keep it out of the public, as stated in previous posts in this topic. This is a massive breach of personal privacy. :(

For your own sake, I hope none of your forummembers will ever read this post.

Please show some common sense and remove comment and image from your previous post.

To minimise the Spamming, restrict the number of PMs that can be sent, in an hour.

Why must you know? It's none of your business if the people receiving the private message don't want you to know. Do you want the admins of this site reading your PM's here? It's the same principle.

You can allow your members to report PM's by setting that option in admin. That way if they get any spam PM's or abusive PM's they can forward them to you so you can deal with the problem.

You posted that image directly after Norv told you our policy on viewing PM's. If you had read his post you should have known that it was not allowed.
