Honestly yeah, I have never actually gotten a pm from anybody that wasn't just a troll. The vast majority of my interactions with anybody on here have been conducted directly in the comments to posts.
Disagree, I've gotten plenty of good ones. That said, I'm open to the idea that they're bad on balance, but I thought I'd just point out that I've had productive discussion via PM
Ban private messages if they're only used for harrasement
I agree. For now. It should be completely overhauled before it returns. A lot of safety measures need to be put in place first.
Someone else suggested opt-in and block user function/whitelist function.

I've gotten one PM, a member shared an invite to a private torrent tracker, which is great. Frankly the DM system sucks shit anyways, just get rid imo
Maybe make it an option for users to disable them? I've only had good experiences with PMs, but I can def imagine them being used for harassment
