MN have the ability to read PMs.

Can it please be made possible for people offering or accepting money or goods to be banned from the site?

Can you not just suspend ability to receive PM's on potential begging threads? Would be an easy solution.

Hi, OP

We understand your concerns here - we'll add them to the list of forum functionality items that we'll discuss soon.

In the meantime, we do post a warning on any thread that's reported to us where we feel users may potentially be considering giving more financially than they perhaps can afford. If we have particular concerns, we'll remove the thread and look to ban the user in question.

Hope that makes sense.
