PM report abuse button

First topic message reminder :

This is a suggestion for all forums and especially the help forum.
I am suggesting a report button for PM's. Just like we have a report button for threads we need one for the PM's.

Pm spam has always been a problem and the only way to solve it was to ignore it or ban the members asap. I think the reporting to ban stage takes too long, and before the admins or mods get to know about a spammer or Pm abuser the culprit has already posted 100 abusive Pm's.

I haven't seen this on any other forum, so we could be pioneers with this idea.
I would also like to see a automated version of this feature... what i mean is that the report button has a click limit. For example if the click limit for the report was 50 ... then if 50 different members clicked the report button during a similar time then the spammer would have his Pm disabled automatically... this saves time for the admins.

help support this suggestion, stop private message spam and abuse
thanks

I'm not 100% sure what the report button does as of yet I have never had anyone use it.
But for this suggestion can it send the message with the report so you know what the message says.

vBulletin uses this.

voted yes...
awesome idea

Make this happen please.

i vote yes

This is the thing that would build my confidence about Forumotion.com cause when I made my Forumotion Forum, I noticed it had nothing for PM's. No Logs, No Nothing. I think this would really make Forumotion.com become one of the best in the Internet.

I saw this on a next site before,the button is a forward button to send the message to an admin or a mod so they can see the message what the person spam or advertised.I voted yes.

I'm saying no to this one, reporting a PM is just as easy as copying the PM and send sending it to a mod/admin

Voted yes excellent idea hope theirs a how-to or an option to do this soon

Great idea Jalokim!
voted yes. this is an excellent suggestion and it can really improve the security and safety of our forums!

I Vote a BIG YES to this one my mods and i think this is some thing that we could do with so we can see what is going on with the sad members that do all this crap So yes plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Edit: ok here is what im talking about i could not send this to a admin to tell them that this member is sending out pm's just to hire staff thy pm'ed me with this but i have looked and there post count is 0 so an account just for pm spammming i think

Spoiler:

This sort of thing should not be going on in the site its not on you have a forums for that sort of thing so why use the pm sys ?

ok my rant over if a admin wants a copy of this your welcome to ask i will save it

I didn't like this idea at first but now I can see how it could be used so I'm changing my vote to YES

good idea, voted yes.

There would have to be some sort of PM reader. So, I vote no as I like to keep it privacy.

voted yes.

I vote yes! I like this idea a lot!
