All,
Discuss forum has been using a warning and automatic ban system for a while. The moderators/ admin can initiate a warning to a user for violating common rule(s) of discussion. These warnings used to go to the email address of the user. Apparently, many users do not check their email and hence oblivious of a pending warning. Three consecutive warnings within a specified time automatically ban the user temporarily.
A feature of Private Message (PM) [ .... and not the Prime Minister] is being introduced. Any warning to a user will now go to the PM Inbox of the user. The user is notified with a "# New Private Message" next to its user ID on main Discuss and each thread page. You can click Private Message link to see your messages.
By clicking "PM this user" link below a user ID on each post you can also communicate with other members privately. You can add more members to a discussion.
Please do clean up your inboxes regularly by unsubscribing Private Message threads.
Warning: PM like feature is susceptible to spam and abuse. Please report any malicious behavior. Pkpolitics does not guarantee the privacy of this feature. Use it at your own risk.
