Hi all. Does anyone know why when I go to my “private messages” tab it says “private messages currently disabled” ?

OP posts:

Because they don’t exist currently/anymore

Because some individuals were dm’ing horrible images to others.

Oh so nothing I’ve done myself then ?. Is it something that’s not available to all on here ?

Exactly, no available to anyone at the moment

HQ say they might be back this week sometime.

They said that last week - they first said Friday and then early this week.

I think they’re hoping if they leave it long enough we’ll just forget it ever existed because they can’t find a way to stop links being sent over PMs.

I'm glad they've been disabled, sick of getting PMs from disgusting, pervy men!

Same

There is a way to turn them off I think but I have DM with someone occasionally about a mutual interest

AlexandrinaH · 05/03/2025 17:37

There is a way to block PMs in your settings and in my experience, it doesn’t prevent those you are already messaging from contacting you.

Not gonna lie I’ve sent personal links to users on here taking them to adult content pics of me and BF on PM so thought that’s why I couldn’t access the PM function on here.
Just for reference is that something that is allowed on here for us to do anyway ?

What you do in private between consenting adults is up to you, but I don’t think it’s something they encourage.

PMs were definitely not turned off because of you!

Gymbunny2025 · 09/03/2025 10:30

If you're sending links to your Pornhub channel that probably is breaking rules as not allowed to promote business on here. No idea though but worth checking. I doubt a bloke will report you but I'd be really annoyed if someone sent me that kind of link!! Mumsnet may be looking into stopping any links being sent by DM in light of what's happened

I don't know what the rules are TBF, but I assume they've requested the link?

Although as Gymbunny says, I doubt a bloke will mind.

AlexandrinaH · 11/03/2025 14:39

PMs are back now. 😊

There was a sex chat thread on here a long time ago where people encouraged others to chat via PM. That was tolerated for a while then closed down as it was not in the spirit of the site, which was fair enough.

Consensual PMs were ok then, and I assume still would be, although posting PM requests for chat on the boards was completely banned. The problem was that people were abusing the system and PMing people unsolicited, which is obviously not on, to put it mildly, and again not in the spirit of the site.

They were disabled on the entire forum, as someone was sending links/pics to CSA, after posting them on the forum boards. Hopefully MN has some controls in place now to stop that kind of stuff being sent.

I've asked MNHQ what would happen if a link to a 'personal' picture or video was shared in a PM. I was told that AI will flag anything of this nature and then it will be reviewed by a human.

Oh dear…there’s a warning 😂😂
