Private messages (spam)

@Cristina  we just had an incident with a spammer sending mass PM’s. It took hours for us to get the info and the spammer was able to send hundreds of pm’s in the meanwhile. Would it be possible to be added to the beta?

Hi @Suvi Lehtovaara! The feature has been enabled for your community. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

Hey @timcavey , would you be interested in having this turned on too? I would ask inSided to enable it now for ya, but I’d rather check first to make sure.

yes please @Cristina we’d like to be in this beta testing for reporting PMs as spam!

Hi all,

I think that this problem with Private Messages and Spam is related also with the Idea I opened some time ago. I’m posting the link here in case you want to upvote the idea as I think it will help to prevent much of the Spam in PM

Thanks

Nice! I’ve upvoted that idea too.

Which reminds me actually. Could the beta also be enabled for the Boost Forum please? Tim also manages that one and I’m pretty confident he’d be happy to have it available on both sides.

And I guess… Why not enable it here too? I guess I can technically request it for inSpired? XD

Great! @timcavey & @Blastoise186 I requested to our engineers to add both instances to the beta program. I will let you know once the report PM feature is enabled. 

Yay! Thanks Christina! :)

Hopefully I won’t ever need this feature, but it’ll definitely be a nice to have as a precaution. If I do manage to smash it to pieces, you’ll definitely be the first to know… After Tom Shaddock anyway… XD

@timcavey @Blastoise186 The ‘report PM’ feature is now enabled on both Ovo communities. 

Aaaaannndd I already broke it within 20 seconds! XD

You know, I probably shouldn’t be able to report Tim’s messages to himself as the Community Manager! Shouldn’t Mod+ get a free pass from this?
