PM 'Quota'?

[ThatZenoGuy]

So far I haven't been able to add anyone to a PM because apparently everyone has reached their quota, I'm guessing it's just a case of bad luck from a small sample size but what is the size of this quota in question?
It makes private messages a little challenging/impossible.

PM quotas ?

PM quotas ?

Yeah, apparently, they impose a limit on how many PMs you can have.

For me, it's 50, though for some reason, it doesn't count PMs you decide to leave. So, if you want to bypass the official quota, odds are you should leave convos you don't have much investment in. Fortunately, that doesn't delete the convo, so you can still receive messages and reply, if the other person(s) posts there.

We do place a limit on the number of people in a single PM.

That said, are we talking about a single PM or how many PMs total you have?

 

[Emperor Tippy]

Maximum number of people in a PM: 5
Maximum number of posts allowed in a PM: Unlimited
Maximum number of active conservations that you can have: 50 (maybe? I think that's what the option means).

The option labeled Conversation Count Quota is set to 50. What that option actually does? *shrug*

That's how I understood this ... I keep on deleting (leaving) old PM exchanges (which go to the Trash, apparently), thus I waver at around half a dozen.

How many PM's total someone has (I have 1 in total).
I can't add most people seemingly because they're at 50.

Try sending a test PM to me. I have fewer than 50 PMs.

Tested it, managed to make a PM with you in it.
So it's just bad damned luck the users I want to chat to are all hoarding PM's lmao.

Well, so long as the thread's still open, may I ask precisely why we have PM quotas in the first place?

Server storage space savings?

Precisely, running this place isn't free, after all, and people who've kindly bought account upgrades don't actually cover all the costs.

I've seen sites/boards where PMs are automatically deleted after 12 months.

Well… suddenly, I’m a whole lot more grateful for how The Sietch does things.

I also sent private message to your inbox as well, but never heard back from you.
