Why can't we send more than 20 PM's an hour?
I just reached it and can't contact burbs babe for highly important MHS discussion (cough *senior social* cough) ::) :P
So the suggestion is clearly to remove this limit.
-
There's a restriction?
How the hell did you pass it? o_O
-
Well it's to prevent spam obviously. I don't think there's many situations that need someone to send more than 20 PMs an hour. If you are, clearly you need another route of communication like MSN or email o_o

EDIT: Just reached it for the second time :'(

NO GOD NO PLEASE I LOVE THE LIMIT FOR THIS REASON :P

I can't respond to you (due to limit) but yeah having a Premier's would be cool although you are correct in saying it is of no immediate use/benefit rather it's an ego burst :P
-
lim (pm -> 20) = 0
Think about it.
Also, if you're sending so many messages to burbs an hour, talk to him on Facebook.

Not just burbs. I just listed him for lulz. And I don't have FB.
-
But he does send a lot of PMs.

Yes. (I'm not taking that as a bad thing :P)
Which brings me back to - can I have it (the restriction) lifted?

Why did you make a thread for this and not just send Ninwa a.... oh right.
-
Wouldn't it have just been easier to get his email or something? This isn't something the mods can do. Not even sure if it's covered under the permissions that Nina's in charge of.

Oh really? Forget it then.
-
Moderators wouldn't be able to change it; in fact, considering how forum software is usually written, it's an all-or-nothing scenario. Either everyone has the limit, or no-one does.
-
Wow. Reached the limit for the 3rd time :crazy2:
-
Wait, how do you reach the limit three times in one day?
Isn't it like, the limit is the limit and after that you can't PM anymore and therefore have no physical way of reaching the limit again? :/

Nah the limit is no more then 20 PM's an hour. So you wait some time and you're allowed to send off ONE more PM.
If luken93/swarley is reading this....this is why I'm slow-replying.
Extremely frustrating :tickedoff:

Omg. It just let me send off two PM's (luken and gossamer) and now I'm back to limit

You didn't actually have to reply :')

hahaha that sucks. do you have msn??
-
This is insane.
I just had a PM from gossamer, Slumdawg, swarley and luken93.
I want to reply to all 4.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Nah I quit MSN for so-called study-focus VCE...cough fail.

Yes. I'm in favour of keeping the limit. Facebook, MSN, email and face-to-face contact would suit your discussions more, not a forum if you want to keep it private and want to indulge in a lengthy conversation.
EDIT: Then I guess face-to-face contact would be the best way to go. It's faster and more efficient.

Maybe you have to quite VN as well :P

It's called patience. I wait ~7minutes and I'm allowed to send off one PM! The feeling is AMAZING - the satisfaction of being allowed to send off a PM!! :P :P

Pfft, you said it was an hourly threshold. Dammit :P
-
I'll copy and paste.
You have exceeded the limit of 20 personal messages per hour.
So I assume after 7minutes I can send off A PM....although the maths doesn't work out :/
-
WHY HAVEN"T YOU REPLIED ALREADY?!?!
?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Where's my reply?????? What happened?? :P
I think AN users are having too much fun :knuppel2: :knuppel2:
Stop messing with me boys :'( :'(

Unfortunately ATAR, by reaching your hourly limit this many times in one 24 hour time span, you must pay $100 to admin for the strain you cause on the system. So let's just say you and shinny cancel each other out.

You're extremely funny burbs babe :smitten: :smitten:
-
Apparently you cant send another pm within 15 seconds after sending one.

That is true - that happens a lot to me as well.
The last posting from your IP was less than 15 seconds ago. Please try again later.
Man thank god there isn't a post limit.
-
For anyone interested I just hit the limit again.
I blame gossamer and Slumdawg.

... use msn? 20 PM's is way too much
I quit MSN and not everyone has MSN and not everyone on this site will be willing to divulge their contact details.
Furthermore 20 is nothing in one whole hour.
If you PM say 5 different people you can only have a convo of 2 PM's each. That's nothing.

Go on VN Chat and start a private chat there with them? :)

Haha could do if it didn't lag my whole computer a shitload :/
-
The fact that you NEED to PM 5 different people means you need to find an alternative form of communication. I suggest IRC.

Who says NEED? Lol what? Just because I have qs about MHS-related items or Psychology....
That statement makes no sense to me at all.

I think your previous comment implied that you contacted 5 people via pm on a regular basis (thus the thread you've made here requesting an increased PM limit)
so he suggested an alternate (and more appropriate) means of communication. :p
Seriously, use msn

IRC lags your PC... lolwhat?
Do you own a wooden pc?
-
Eh I just got blocked now, I think we need an excemption in order for any ATAR related convo's, he is clearly an exception to the rule.
-
I think we can live with that restriction. Needing to send more than 20 pms in an hour obviously requires a conversational medium rather than a messaging system like the forum messaging system. There are many IM out there, I'm sure we don't need to provide a list.
However, I do think this thread is mostly useless. So here is the lock. :)
-
Thanks Mao. Just want to add that no, I can't change the limit, and even if I could I wouldn't for the reasons listed above.
