 Ok I banned him for 7 days, but I can't check his PMing activity to perma ban him,so if he complains someone can unban him.

That said, I thought we were changing the PM options to only PM mods and admins without posting?

If you click on "Edit Options" in your profile, there's something about allowing emails from members, which you may wanna change.

That said, we think the options might not be quite working right at the moment, so we're having our programmer looking into it.

 We're going to have this off by default and not allow new members to use it at all, just like PMs.
