Hey there, I checked in my Discourse Settings and in the search of the forum, but I can’t seem to find the place to change it. Is it possible (and if yes, how) to allow “Sending PMs” a TL2 and not a TL1 feature? Indeed, we started to have spam bot on my forum via PMs… Thanks in advance for your support.

You’ll be looking at the personal message enabled groups setting.

[image] Mustachian Post: I checked in my Discourse Settings Did you try searching the settings? If so, do you still remember the term you entered? Even though I know this setting exists, I sometimes struggle to find it. I always forget to write down the search term, so I can’t suggest a keyword that would have helped me find the setting. I think I use the plural, so something like “personal messages enabled groups”.

And that’s why I use ask.discourse.com relatively often :smirking_face:

Thanks much to all! @Moin I think I searched “PMs”. And then, I mostly went through each “Trust Levels” config items.

How to make "Sending PMs" a TL2 (instead of TL1)?

Go to the site settings and look for “Personal Message Enabled Groups”. There, you’ll find an option to change the setting.
