Wow, GFY Private messages have been turned on ? - GoFuckYourself.com

sarettah · 07-06-2013, 10:04 AM

When did that happen?

expiring minds want to know...

O MARINA · 07-06-2013, 10:13 AM

sarettah send me test message

Dankasaur · 07-06-2013, 10:14 AM

Got your test message.

globofun · 07-06-2013, 10:17 AM

Stop sending me messages

baddog · 07-06-2013, 10:22 AM

Great, now everyone is using it . . . way to go.

onwebcam · 07-06-2013, 10:23 AM

I guess they finally realized that having people check their messages increases traffic?

Eric · 07-06-2013, 10:24 AM

This will be turned on shortly. This was turned on in error for everyone.

The idea will be to allow it's use for those over a certain post count to keep the spam to a minimum.

L-Pink · 07-06-2013, 10:25 AM

Eric, seriously? It going to be exclusionary to "post count". I would hope registration information would factor in. A lot of people, including myself, don't spend a lot of time on boards, certainly not post whoring on commenting on everything just to raise a post count. Some of us would rather come here, get what we need accomplished and then get on with life.

Mine isn't working anymore so I can't see Dankasaur's reply to me

Do I not have enough messages to be priveleged ? I guess I'll just have to start making a whole bunch of BS posts in order to reach the threshhold ;p

Lol. I tried to send you a test but it said that you don't allow private messages, had to send to Dankasur instead (I was just guessing at who might actually accept and reply to a message from me)

But now mine isn't working. I saw that Dank had answered, told it to open in a new window but it never opened and now PMs are gone from my User panel.

I just don't rate I guess.

Heh, you've been here since nearly the beginning of GFY. But you're not a post whore or sig whore.

I find it interesting that "privileges" seem to be extended towards a handful of people who offer value and experience while also rewarding those who who troll, contest whore, sig whore and post whore in their almighty bid to get a green nick.

It is an interesting way of assessing a member's value.

baddog · 07-06-2013, 10:41 AM

It doesn't look like I have enough posts either.

The message from Robwood has been ignored because of his low postcount.

Sorry bout that.

PornDiscounts-V · 07-06-2013, 10:45 AM

Post count? What about people who have been here doing work and not whoring?

PornDiscounts-V · 07-06-2013, 10:47 AM

Perhaps another check for pre 2006? Which is right about when the trolls came in bigger numbers.

Eric · 07-06-2013, 10:48 AM

Let me clarify...

Private messaging was accidently turned on... It is back off

Post count will be around 100. Enough to weed out the people who come here, make an account and then try to spam private messaging. This number may even be lower. So those of you thinking that the post count number will be in the 1000s that is just not the case.

In the end we are trying to make this an option that will allow you all to do and create more business between each other and protect you from having to deal with a constant level of spam.

I think the cut off should be anyone who joined prior to November 1, 2002.

That would cover all the important people.

robwod · 07-06-2013, 10:54 AM

Eric: Interesting, nice to see that this is a spam preventative method and not a post-count incentive. Nicely done. A lot of communities place far too much emphasis on post count -- GFY included -- so it is certainly refreshing in the way you are doing it.

WoW! · 07-06-2013, 10:57 AM

Was waiting for this a long long time.

yes this is meant to make this as business oriented as possible.

Set it so they need at least 1k posts to send private messages.

stashnetwork · 07-06-2013, 11:12 AM

ok so now i gotta spam

signupdamnit · 07-06-2013, 11:17 AM

You might also want to make it 7-30 days account age too in order to protect yourself from spammers registering and making 100 automated posts and then flooding everyone with PMs non-stop.

Already set to 30 days

PornDiscounts-V · 07-06-2013, 11:56 AM

Ah. In that case 100 is bare minimum. And 30 days is very small in that regard. My magic number would be 42. It is the answer for everything. I guess the posts could be 42 as well. Then limit them to 42 per day and if 42 people mark one as spam that could be a way to auto-ban.

Ferus · 07-06-2013, 12:56 PM

Good news!
Not that I need the function right now, but it was something I have had the use for before.

LOL, it was funny how people with thounsand(s) of messages were concerned if their post count would be enough. I mean its obviously that number would be low when speaking about cutting off drive by spammers.

That would limit majority of people making it semi useless tool. No actual business would be done when you could message only few most established members. Not even sure if this was meant to be serious suggestion...

100 is bare maximum. Almost no spammer would create 100 messages so that he could send pms (and get caught anyway).
50 would be more than enough.
