Yeah, not much point with them on here IMO. If we were to have the "X post minimum" thing there will be no point in them PMing by that point. As by 500/1000/whatever posts a member will have probably got a few veteran CWers' emails. Thus rendering their PM privileges useless.
And that's the end of that chapter.

Not sure why there is so much averseness to PMs anyway.

For the reasons already stated - most people can use MSN to do what PMs would. If you refuse to, that's your problem. And if you're disallowed from doing so it's pretty likely that you're the sort of person no-one has any desire to converse with anyway.

Agree with that part but I still don't quite understand why PM's have to stay disabled. GMs or James can use them to let certain members know if they're getting out of line instead of humiliating them in public. I remember one member getting banned for 7 for reacting the way he did when a GM told him to get his act straight on a thread. The problem could've been resolved in a much better way using PMs. MSN isn't always as effective for such things unless you know the member well, of course I'm only speaking from a year and a half of experience as a mod.
Anyway, if I were James that would be the biggest reason I'd want them enabled. Besides, they're not that hard to moderate at all.

GMs being able to send them on a one-way basis indeed isn't a bad idea at all IMO, but it's purely the populace at large that I (and it seems a great deal others) are against having the ability to use them.
Of course, plenty of Mods at this place email members, especially long-standing and relatively well-respected ones, when there's an issue of some sort.

Annoyed now with PMs not being enabled..
Going to raid his house, find his computer, and check that box.. And then leave through the front door having stolen a few tinnies for the journey home..
