If we had the option to close our inbox to private messages, would you choose to close it?

I don’t mean like close it permanently, just to have an option to stop incoming messages for as long as you want. Like your whiteboard.

No I like getting a message sometimes. But I've never had to even remotely close deal with a flooded inbox.
I feel like everyone is misunderstanding me. @SpectralMourning

@deathfairy I understood that you were saying it's not a permanent decision. I was just trying to imply it's never been a big enough distraction or worry that I would ever feel the need to turn it off.
Sorry, I know. I don’t mean you misunderstood me. Most ppl who are saying no. Do they not know we can close our whiteboard? @SpectralMourning

@deathfairy I think they gave that option to the whiteboard because it displays publicly on the profile. For a private inbox they'd probably just tell you to ignore it if you don't want private conversations. But perhaps you're one of those that would further descend into the darkest depths of insanity seeing that notification flag keep getting larger and larger.
I literally can’t have any number badge accumulating for messages, notifications, I keep it empty at all times.

It’s not even that. It’s the actual messages themselves. @SpectralMourning

@deathfairy I'm sorry...I do get wanting it all to just be an empty clean slate.
