Private messages

Angelina

i agree with you, i could be satisfied with that. i'm still sticking with the no, because i think that a lot of important things will disappear into private chats, but i'm happy to be proven wrong 😉

Renita Then they will start begging you 😃

"Laura ... please, please, please let me in" 😂

carg What you sometimes also see is that PM is only available between 'friends' -

this idea is not bad either. over the last few years i have met some people here with whom i would like to talk also beyond the topic of chastity, but not with all of them.

This is an option if it possible to realise.
As @Laura wrote the Moderator can contact member via PM for clearing any dispute or cal a warning. This should not visible to someone else.
If someone want to contact another member he can ask the member if it ok that @Laura send the email address. It worked fine in the past and prevented that it was asked lightly but only after careful consideration. Most of the conversation is still at the forum whereby some not suitable done in private.

actually i agree with you, everything that can be discussed outside the forum should be discussed via email. however, i would at least think if it is not an opportunity to close the offtopic topics (with reference to discuss everything else via PM), then it would also be easier for new users and they don't have to read through posts that have nothing to do with chastity.

I don't see the necessaries to close all off topics. It is part of the forum and if nobody would enjoy it we had no posts their.

Angelina

Joh

maybe you're right, maybe you're not. i wouldn't make up my mind until it's been tested (if it is).

Laura We didn't want categories from the beginning

since i wasn't here at least at the very beginning of the forum and can't remember the discussion, may i ask why not?

Kaja

Might be we can separate this big forum to more smaller parts (like in others forums - for example https://www.musicbanter.com/) So the offtopics will be separated for first wiew,

To let it look similar to the misterpoll's thread, e.g. answer to new posts rather then go through all categories.
I can add categories, but then it will look like an old-style phpbb forum

Angelina

Laura I can add categories, but then it will look like an old-style phpbb forum

well, i think that would be a decision the whole forum should make. i've been fine without categories so far 🙂

Joh

Laura A better search engine I can use boolean expression would be nice. Than I see no need for categories.

It's part of the flarum. I can't do much with it

Angelina

i don't know what "boolean" is, but i agree with you. it's sometimes a bit strange what kind of search results i get when i type in a word. although i have to admit that google can't do much better. 😂

Joh

Laura It is not possible to hand it over to another one with more search options?
That is sad. ☹️

Laura

Joh It is not possible to hand it over to another one with more search options?

Maybe. Need to take a look at the extensions

Joh

Laura 👍️

Angelina i don't know what "boolean" is

Made up of a bunch of "and", "or" and "not" relations.

Laura

"Logical"

I voted no. If private messages are added please also add the feature to turn them off.

Laura

Dalila please also add the feature to turn them off.

There is an item in your settings called "Block private discussions"

Angelina

Laura

i have not been online for 2 days, is the private massage system now activated? is it possible to block individual users? i don't like to write with perverts (if they find the forum that is the big risk)

@Laura I think the smartest way to implement it would be like on reddit.
Someone can write you a message but it is not shown until you accept the direct message.
That way users are protected from troll-DMs.
