Not sure if this is the right place to post this, or if it's been discussed before, but I've been wondering for some time why Private Messaging has been disabled?

Some people just used the feature to stalk the female members here.

Most won't agree, but would love to see them enabled again tbh.

Should publish a directory of the female members on here to go with enabling PMs. One is useless without the other, I feel.

I'm relieved to discover this isn't another politics thread.

Yeh i don't see the point in PM's anymore. Most of the people use MSN anyway if they want to communicate, if you don't use it and want to communicate to one of the gun members then freaking get a msn account.

PMs are necessary to be honest. Disabling them due to "foreigners" trying to recruit for their forum is silly. A lot of people prefer them over MSN, because they are internal and not everyone likes to give out their email. How else do Moderators contact members with emails disabled without making it a public matter in a thread?

By emailing them directly, seeing as a couple of the CW admin would have access to everyone's emails?

Thanks for the advice. I have one.

AWTA, very strongly.
If someone makes the choice not to give out their email, they forfeit the right to private conversation. I don't see anything wrong with that, personally. There's quite a few members on CW who don't want to give their email out and seem perfectly happy that the forum is their only method of communication with other CWers.
Tom (Spitfires_Fan) my MSN is RJED2@AOL.com, pretty much any CWer is welcome.
And I've got 85 members on there currently, so should be able to give you a decent start if there's someone you want to add.

Interestingly, the disabling of PMs was an action taken before every single one of the current female members (possibly bar 1) had joined the site.
BTW, just occurred to me - that's something I've never asked. What was the date of the disabling?
