All the people complaining about the message limit are 60-80 years old, can it be that old people just talk to more people than the rest of us? 🤔

@Lilnonames someone mentioned that it's like 50 new messages a week or something. Not sure if that's true. XD

@Lilnonames @Teirdalin I saw this comment correction by admin on another post...

A number of users complaining about the Messaging limits, currently have pending Reports on their Private Messages:

"Reason: Pornographic, unsolicited nudity or other sexually explicit content (1 week ago)"

-----

Users can initiate new conversations with 5.. 10.. 20.. users, in one day (if they aren't actively limited).

However, if someone is routinely creating +10 conversations with new people each and every day, for example, it suggests that the user is not creating meaningful conversations of mutual interest with the recipients.

If a user initiated 60.. 80.. 100 new conversations in the past month, with users who share mutual interests with them, they should already have plenty enough active conversations going on to keep them busy all day.

(Not to mention past conversations from the previous months, as well.)

Otherwise, a user may be simply "Volume-Messaging" playing a "Numbers Game" to see who may respond.

There was other comment corrections on the same post:

They all point towards the same if you ain't sending new messages constantly and you don't have a load of pending reports you probably won't ever notice there's a limit.

@AdaXI thank u on this💋
Teirdalin · 31-35
@AdaXI thanks due the reference, geeze who even finds 60 people to talk with
AdaXI · T
@Teirdalin Yeah FOSU! When I find someone I'll tell you, LMAO!🤣

Like sure I'll PM new people maybe once a month.. I mean even if I said I did it once a day not like I'd ever be worried about the limitations either BUT it does mention 'pending reports' which again not sure what that means exactly, just seem funny people all of a sudden mentioning there's a restriction even though there has always been limitations.

So have they suddenly reduced the quota to stop people sending 'hi' type messages or brought in a reports list where if you pending investigation you get restricted? I mean they must of done something for people to suddenly notice is all I'm getting at.

@Teirdalin @Lilnonames Yeah sorry skim reading through the other day I'd totally missed this one:
The VIP feature previously increased the Quota Limit of the TOTAL Number of Private Message Conversations a user can have.

For Anti-Spam / Harassment measures, priority has recently shifted more towards "Rate Limits" of New PM conversations, rather than "Total Limits".

(Rate-limits also by extension, keeps the Total Limits under control.)

Most users who have caused a lot of harassment via PM messages, never did reach near to the Total PM Limits (which can take years to hit).

Rate-limits have always been in place before, but they were too loose, and ineffective at preventing users from spamming the same type message to 100's of new users each week

So that answers my last comment they've actually decreased the rate you can send out new messages and that's why people have noticed. Just confused me with the 'a number of the users complaining have pending reports' comment as to what they'd done exactly but it is what it is.
