PMs

Can we have them?

Pros
- Mafia
- Exchanging contact details - some of us may be uncomfortable to reveal contact details in the public forum. Even if you delete posts, mods can see them.
- More convenient channel to complain about infractions to mods


Cons
- More convenient channel to complain about infractions to mods
- Public spats will no longer be available for reading pleasure on VM walls
- Spambots?


While we're at it could we have the Afghanistan flag up on the main site banner please

I don't think we should do PMs just for mafia games' convenience. I see more downside than up given the clique nature of CW as it is.

Yeah would be nice.

Won't have any effect on cliqueness as people you could call parts of clique know each other off site too.

Well, if the argument is that its not gonna become more of a clique, then fine. :) But I assume there was a reason why we have not had it all this while either.


FWIW, I really don't mind either way as, like Daemon said, you find ways to be in touch with the folks you get along with here anyways.

I believe on most forums PMs can still be reported. So any concerns about abuse etc can surely be managed. I don't really see the downside. This forum has a core group of posters and though hb talks about cliqueness he's part of said group. I don't see the issue with certain people conversing via PM. Sledger and I basically run this forum from WhatsApp as it is so you might as well give us an official CW channel to do it.

Like I said, I am not really against it. Guess the concerns about abuse can be handled if you can report PMs too. So then I am all in.


GIMH has been making way too many sensible posts recently. What happened mate? :p
