How do disable private messages between non staff users?

Hmmmm, I’m missing seeing that in the guardian.rb file.

  def can_send_private_message?(target)
    (target.is_a?(Group) || target.is_a?(User)) &&
    # User is authenticated
    authenticated? &&
    # Can't send message to yourself
    is_not_me?(target) &&
    # Have to be a basic level at least
    @user.has_trust_level?(TrustLevel[1]) &&
    # PMs are enabled
    (SiteSetting.enable_private_messages ||
      @user.username == SiteSetting.site_contact_username ||
      @user == Discourse.system_user) &&
    # Can't send PMs to suspended users
    (is_staff? || target.is_a?(Group) || !target.suspended?)
  end
