Good feature that helps cripple scammers preying on distracted/gullible users through PM.

Plus, it doesn't take much activity to get out of the newbie status anyway.

The Gullible shouldn't really be using the internet if they can believe information sent by a pm from a random stranger they don't know and to hand over money from this!
Can people not just check the activity of a person and their rank to see that they are not a hero member they were expecting a PM from? That's the first think I check when reading amessage, who it was from!

Some people deal with dozens of PM a day, having to manually check everything every time is a lot of work, and not every user that they deal with are users with avatar or with a lot of posts.

Its pretty easy to catch an impersonator this way and it does not affect legit users.

I don't think people realize how many of these attacks there were daily.

Let's come up with solution better than this Smiley

Go on then. What do you suggest as a solution? The warning is there because impersonation by newbs of higher ranked members was becoming rife and they had actually been successful in scamming people. Since this warning was put into place I don't believe there's been a single successful scam this way so it works.

i got that pm message *header* occasionally and i thought people were writing that in on their own.. doh LOL

FUD first & ask questions later™
