Hi. So a few friends use the private message system on my Discourse forum as a sort of chat system. Is there anyway I could set the system to where if you are trust level 3 or higher there are no rate limits on private messages (or even just something crazy high like 1,000 or 10,000 per day)?

I don’t know if it’s relevant but have you tried tinkering with max_personal_messages_per_day setting in admin?

Babble is well maintained. Even if something is failing, there are a lot of people using it so it gets reported and @gdpelican is super speedy at fixing such things.
