PMs to Multiple Posters?

[MKnight82]

I noticed when talking with someone via PM that it said at the top "their are 2 active posters in this discussion".  Does that mean we can add additional posters to a PM discussion?

[Webmaster]

No.  Members can only PM one member at a time.  Moderators have the ability to PM up to three members to help them with forum administration.

Is there a reason you don't want posters to be able to do this?  Cause it would be a pretty cool feature.  Especially with the FFMD.

Spam is the likely reason.

@Webmaster   Is there a reason behind the 1 to 1 person limit to PM vs multiple people PM? 

I agree that with trying to get FFMD back to running at is full potential, allowing a GM of a team to message multiple at once with a single message would make the process much more user friendly.

Thanks

Mods can create PMs with up to five people.

Everyone can create up to 100 different PM conversations. But only 20 each day, if I remember correctly.

What is the rational for not allowing other members/posters to use a multiple person PM process?   It would make a big difference in some of the FFMD and TCMD mock drafts.

I'd guess it's something to prevent spammers from being as effective.

Spamming actually happens more than you'd think. The limits on new posters, the PM limit, and the wait between posts actually does a great job preventing spammers. And it happens more than you'd think.

It sucks for everyone. But it only takes a few to ruin things for everyone else.

to go along with this, it actually happens more than people think.

In 5 years on here, I have never had a spam message.

You're welcome.

I thought the same thing until I became a mod. There's actually quite a bit that goes on behind the scenes.
