    Default Prevent 0%ers from PMing and or making posts anywhere other than Intros.

    I've had several 0%ers PM me for GAs. It would be nice if they weren't allowed to PM anyone other than a handful of folks that could help them with their intro.



    Also, there are adbot like forum threads shilling a product. At least make them go through the app process before they can carpet bomb us with their sales pitch.

    I second this, I've only gotten 2 or 3 pms from them but still pretty annoying, also most of the stuff they post is spam, of course it doesn't apply for everyone who's at 0% but if they really wanted to be active here they should get repped in first which only takes 1 day at most if they read the requirements correctly.

    The newblets have pm rights so that they may contact a member of staff if need be. There is no option that I am aware of in vbulletin to only allow pm's to certain groups. I can sympathise with your plight people - I get bombed everyday, the only thing I can advise and I really do urge people to do is...

    REPORT IT!!!!

    The major problem is, there are far too many people willing to ignore those that try and solicit invites etc via pm and therefore the staff can not do anything about it. Spread the word, encourage people to use the report pm button - it takes two seconds, that way if it starts becoming a major issue then perhaps the pm situation will be looked at again.

    I don't agree with this. Well, it would be ok preventing them from posting (and with that I don't think I would have a problem. It would be something like: "shut up until you are a part of us" lol), but PM's are very important, like TankGirl said. Remember that many new members never used an IRC client before, so they don't know how to join #tihelp (when I was 0% I had no idea what IRC was!)

    The reason they are allowed to post is to encourage them to be part of the community. Yes we do get them spamming, but that does get dealt with and yes there are some places that they post and they really shouldn't but again if that happens - report it. Please remember that the forum has gone through a lot of upgrades and we are still finding bugs here and there, but also remember that we are trying to encourage these people to join our site.

    it will be harsh for the begginers to add yet another limitation,most people find it petty annoying the intro thing and all plus if we we prohibit them from posting too they are more likely to give up on this forum which we don't want.
    already many sections are not open for 0% posting and i guess its sufficient.
    about spamming yes everyone of us has done it as a begginer and some senior member has helped us at that time
    so its now us who would be helping the begginers

    0%'s PM's were enabled maybe just a month ago. When they were disabled they had no means to contact staff.

    PM asking for invites on your own risk. If your PM is incredibly stupid, it WILL be posted in the mocking block.
    Thank you to TI staff for five wonderful months!

    Not that I am aware of. If anyone can find a vbulletin 4 mod that does it then by all means let the staff know. We do understand that it can be frustrating, but unless there is another method - I'm afraid you are stuck with it. Honestly if people are pming you then please - report them - we do take action, and if they are persistent it can lead to severe consequences, but if you guys don't tell us then we don't know :/
