A new feature allows users to disable receiving private messages (PMs), with the setting located under ‘interface’. Staff members, including admins and moderators, can still send PMs to users regardless of their preferences. The feature can be configured by groups via the ‘personal message enabled groups’ setting. Some users had difficulty finding the option, with clarification provided on its location and functionality. jomaxro announced the change, downey asked about admin overrides, vinothkannans confirmed staff permissions, and JammyDodger explained the group-based configuration, while satonotdead sought clarification and later acknowledged the explanation.
Users now are are able to choose individually if they wish to receive PMs:

Staff users are exempt from this setting, they can PM users regardless of the setting.
The setting is under “interface”:
Nice. Can admins (and/or moderators?) over-ride this feature to message users if necessary?
If I’m not mistaken, staff (admin & moderators) are allowed to send PMs to all users regardless of the user preference. @tgxworld would need to confirm.
Yes. Staffs can send PM to anyone.
I updated the OP, thanks Vinoth!
如果我的实例上找不到该选项，可能会有什么问题？我尝试了类似的词语，但我们仍然无法禁用私信 
是否可以仅从特定群组启用私信？
设置已最近更改为“允许个人消息的群组”，因此您可以为任何您喜欢的群组启用它们。
(不过，我可能把这个和你之前在聊天中问的问题弄混了 https://meta.discourse.org/chat/c/-/129/17116，这可能不是你在这里问的。:slight_smile:)
谢谢！我的错，我在查找“启用或禁用 PM”时错过了“组”的含义，就像一个机器人一样。
尝试从搜索中查找该聊天帖子但没有结果！如果需要，请删除重复项
