Thread: Minimum Post Count Required to Send Private Messages (PMs)

To better curb spam on our forums, I have set the minimum post count required to send a Private Message to 5 posts. It's much easier to catch people who are publicly spamming than privately, so this should at least make them come out and obviously spam before running the PM scripts.

Let me know if you experience any problems with the new plugin.

I caught and banned them pretty quick, but yeah, it's related.

I guess I was to cool to recieve any spam.
