Well let’s see …

- sending a PM requires trust level 1

- sending a group PM requires trust level 2

- the right for someone to voluntarily opt remove _themselves_ from a PM they don’t want to be on, at any time → incontrovertible

- at trust level 1 you can mute users at will, which prevents them from sending you PMs or adding you to PMs

Also, I’m unclear why you would add someone to a PM, and _then_ urgently need to remove them? And if you did.. why not flag 🏴 like any other time things get urgent?

In other forum software there is an option to indicate when you start a PM if it is an “open” PM that anyone can be added to, or if the list of people in the PM is static after creation and cannot be changed.
