Hello.

I would suggest to remove the "No support via PM" field, because, from my point of view it has no sense...

There are lots of other ways to advertise users that PM support is not allowed...for example, in the welcome P.M. you can remember it to the users or you can make a global announcement...or...other ways...

But not with a profile field...

What do you think about this?

Thank you for your opinions Mr. Green

Hi,

Well, I absolutely agree with this suggestion. I think these field is not necesary. In addition, one of the rules of this forum is "Do not ask support by PM", so isn't necesary to remember it one and another time, because supposedly the members of the forum has already read the rules, and isn't necesary to remember it for that reason.

Voted yes Smile

I bet even with the field, people are still asking for support through pms.

Hi,
This profile field helps emphasize our "No Support via PM" policy Wink
It helps remind users that asking for support through PM will get them reminded, and eventually warned.

Thus, I'll have to vote no. Confused

I'll be voting no

Since it is helpful like Empire_1 said that it remind users that not to ask via PM and helpful for staff so they will no need to post on their location or language fields that they will say "No Support via PM" ... Wink

I'm in support of both sides here. As a support moderator, I get my fair share of PM support requests. Anyway, here's my arguments:

Yes, we should remove it because...
=> It's pointless and does not actually have much of an impact on new members
=> It clutters up the profile field

However, no we should not remove it because...
=> We don't know if it's working or not, for all we know, it could be 100% effective
=> It's there to emphasise that we don't do support via PMs

For me, I haven't voted because I'm not sure which side to take!

I personally dont mind PM support, if i've been helping someone in a topic and they want further help that's fine in my books. I think we should be allowed to change it.

My vote is against because it's really stupid to provide support via PM. Anyway:

Hello.

Yeah, its good to emphatize the not P..M. support policy, but, what I am saying is that there are other ways to do that, not with a profile field...

And besides, as other user said above, that rule is explained on the general rules.

Hello,

Removing of the No Support via PM will stay. If its helping like Darren says its working for him it will stay. We do have other ways of display this message and this is just to help the rule.
