Visitor Messages...
In many forums (I won't mention what), I've seen that there is visitor messages on userpages. I've never seen it on people's profiles on VMKF. Will there, anytime soon?

There used to be visitor messages on userpages here, but for some reason (I forget what) they took them off.

I never knew of that. It looked like the whole time it wasn't there.

and it got to be too much for the mods to handle, so they took it off. |

How did the users abused the visitor messages? What in a way did it cause it to be abusive?

Well, visitor messages don't have the word filter....

I really wish we did have visitor messages on our profiles.
On the userpages, we had shout-out boxes, which were abused by members saying mean things about the person and/or about the userpage. I wish we had them on profiles because we have so few PM's we can send out. 25 is NOT enough. |

Yeah, but even with the few members we have, it'd still be a lot to manage.

But, it would be nice and easier for us all. Plus, the mods are hardly active. Well, they are, just invisible. But still, they should consider it, instead of being a bit lazy. |

They were called shoutboxes and were removed when too many users abused them and the feature had to be eliminated. A lot of people don't understand how difficult it is to moderate visitor messages. Mods have explained in the past how much of a challenge it is as one obscene shoutbox leads to 5 more and each of those lead to 5 more and pretty soon a mod has spent a couple of hours cleaning up the userpage garbage. And that is only ONE of a moderator's many daily tasks. I once modded a VMK fansite, so I speak from my own experiences; however, my experiences cannot be completely applied here as our forums were different. Still, I know a mod's job is very involved.
The more people complain, the less we are trusted with. Be content and responsible with what you have and you'll be trused with more! We've already earned full-time reputation, so who knows?
