    I have recieved 70 pms and I would like to reply to them all, do I have to take them 5 at a time or is there a way to reply to all of them?

    Thanks in advance!

    No, you can't reply to all of them at once.

    I dont think we ever need to PM 70 people at a time..lol PM are personal messages not business..they are sent to each members specifically...Why? you want to say "Thanks , I got your PM !"?

    It's not a vB limit. In vB you can let members PM as many people as you want last time I checked.

    It's an admin setting for groups.

    Does spamming applies to PMing too? Is sending many PMs at a time the only PM spams or there are other type of PM spaming also? I myself admin a few forums, this I think I should know atleast...Please add a few ideas to my knowledge....

    yes fantastic:p:rolleyes: let's quit it ;)

    and for the spamming: i get pm's regurarly from the cousin of the president of nigeria offering me $15,000,000. I consider that spam, even it's just me to receive it, but also when everyone receives it.

    But if you send a pm to everyone saying the forum is going to merge or something, it's important information everybody should know, so that's not spam. It depends on the type of the pm ;)

    Ok I quit:p


    But if I send some PMs to some members telling them some nice information elsewhere in this forum [related to a thread he/she participated], will that consider a spam? Say if I say that "Hi dude there is a thread that may help you..." is that spamming?

    If you copy/paste the same message then it would be spam. If you write each person a real letter, then it's not spam.

    Oh there I got it...Thanks Shawn. But may I know how many members have been banned in DP so far in the context of spamming in general? and also maybe PM spamming? Is there any mod that I can install in my own forum to track spamming ?
