You would be surprised, there are dozens and dozens of banned spammers who created accounts to spam our forums. With the ability to now send to multiple people the same PM, the likelihood that someone could spam hundreds or even thousands of accounts in a short period of time has increased dramatically. As a small company that doesn't have administrators on the board 24x7x365, this is not an acceptable risk considering what that kind of spamming could do not only to our userbase and reputation but also to our server.
How the heck are you hitting the flood control that quickly anyway? You either have lightening fingers or need to be introduced to the wonders of instant messaging services.   |
