What I see as a major problem about this board not allowing private messages is that it reeks of the command and control method of not allowing anyone to communicate within the forum from prying eyes. I’ve had this many times where I wanted to send a private message to Citizenschallenge, write4u, Mriana, and Lausten with personal questions. If I post these questions personally to each of these people on the forum then it makes it sound as though I’m calling them out to attack them. PM is VERY important to keep this form of communication between people without insulting them. As a protection for members being harassed, you could always authorize key master to review any questionable private message received by any other given member. I give a lot of crap to the moderators of this forum for the way things are run, but from Jerry, I had learned there’s a great deal of work that is involved in maintaining this forum with all the spam and such, so in that, I commend you both Lausten and Mriana for keeping things together. I think though you should add one more to help with the off hours when you’re both not on. Either CC or Write4U both could do a great deal to help you both to help maintain this forum, AND bring back the PM system. Of course, this is my personal observation regardless that both are not in favor of me in any way 😀
Seriously though, I think they both have the dedication needed to remain vigilant to the rules.
