What is up with the PM timer?

[Booyaah]

Why do I have to wait 10 minutes between a single PM??  Can you reduce it to like a minute or something?  This seems overly paranoid and inconvenient when you are trying to legitimately contact multiple ppl with different messages.

spammers abuse PM system.

Yeah I understand the need to reduce spam, but I agree with Booyah.  It's the spam blocking in chat is excessive right now.

 

Especially, considering that if you're not in a VOIP, than all messages are delayed by about 10 seconds or so in a battle as well because you have to wait for spam blocker to end.  That really deters team communications in battle.

i think he was referring to the forum PM?

[Guest raat]

oh, perhaps.  I was referring to the new in-game chat spam filter.

[Booyaah]

yes I am referring to forum PM

 

I am not saying get rid of it, just lower the lockout.  I mean there's only a few hundred active ppl on the forum.  I just don't think a 'punish the many to counter a few' strategy is the best option.  

 

We do not have in-game mail working yet, and I don't think you can friend ppl from other nations, so I can't send these ppl from other nations offline messages besides forum PM.  hard to organize stuff with different timezones.

Okay an another annoying thing is the max number of ppl on a PM is currently limited to 5, can you at least up this to 10 by any chance?

bump...still wondering about the PM limit of 5 ppl max?  Can it be increased to 10 or 15?
