Prevent a user from sending private messages?

サポート

Hi all,

I have a very “noisy” user on my forum who keeps sending private messages to other members (who have complained about it to me). I have tried talking to him several times but that hasn’t really brought about a change.

Is there a way to prevent a specific user from sending PMs to others?

The only thing I can think of would be to lock them at TL0. Then they wouldn’t be able to send PMs. However, they would also be limited in how many posts, topics, images, links, etc. they can post. It may work as a “time-out” - tell the user that they’re locked in TL0 until they stop PMing users.

It is possible to disable PMs in the latest Discourse version, but I’d hate for one problem user to cause a bunch of people to turn off PMs for everyone for all time. So I agree with @jomaxro, talk to this user, if they don’t improve, lock them at TL0 which prevents them from sending PMs.

@jomaxro @codinghorror “Downgrading” this particular user to TL0 sounds like a good workaround. Thanks, will give it a try.

特定のユーザーのみでPM（プライベートメッセージ）を無効にする方法をご存知の方はいらっしゃいますか？一定年齢未満のユーザーは、管理者以外のユーザーからPMを送受信できないようにしたいのですが、TL0（トピックレベル0）に制限すると、フォーラムの利用が不快になる可能性があります。
