Remove the option to turn off PMs

Should of just posted it in Bugtracker under feature request with high priority attached. That's the better way to get the admins attentions. Considering everyone's just here to gain post count saying they support, when it's a no brainer it should be removed if it can, especially due to the scamming part.

 

Not that I disagree with the suggestion at all, but how exactly are people getting scammed? The scammer just ends up saying "can't receive PMs, want to trade anyway?"

I know what you're saying but I think we both know that some people on here are stupid man. It's just something small that might help a few people but it also won't really bother anyone except @DesireX

 

@Sythe Is this a easy fix to be removed?

Would def like to see this happen, full support

 

[Time To Buy]

Anything that helps people not get scammed has my full supports. And honestly, I don't see much of a benefit of keeping the ability to turn off pms anyway, so there's no loss.

I support this, like TTB said anything to help make this place safer, and if someone is harrassing you via pm you can always block them or report them. No need to shut off PMs completely.

I've brought it to the attention of Matthew. It's an easy patch just need to override the user privacy settings as we've already done for a couple of other things.
