Is it allowed for people to PM me to ask if I can participate in a contest? I know I should be flattered, but I hate getting 2-3 PMs every time I enter a contest or two asking if I can enter someone elses contest. Honestly, it's like they think I don't have eyes of my own to find their thread.
If you don't want people to PM you, you can disable your PM, but there's no way we can monitor what the topics of people PMing you are.
