Is it possible to configure a discourse site to completely disable direct / private messages?

Yes, see the enable personal messages site setting and also something more specific to users Allow users to disable new PMs

Sorry, I was not being clear. I am not looking for a way to allow individual users to disable PMs. I want a way to, as site configurator / admin / root, to globally disable PMs for everyone.

Yup! I mentioned that there too. [image] osioke: see the enable personal messages site setting
