More PM space for new members https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=36454.msg458060#msg458060

This really will probably only apply to me, but I've been getting a lot of PMs.

As someone who's done research into forums (and ultimately settling upon vBulletin to use for the Zems community), I know that SMF by default gives new users more than 10 private message space, so someone in the administration decided to lower the default PM space for new users (default should be 50), but I really don't understand why.

It's not really needed for most members, but for someone in my situation, it would certainly be nice :)

Hmm...yes after the Mentor system started up I would have thought this would have been changed, but I guess the reasoning was that most newbies won't have a need for that amount of space.

*Shrug* I really don't see any serious problems with changing it.

I've reached the position of 'Junior Member' now so my mailbox size has increased. But that doesn't mean the problem is nonexistent. 10 PM space is really restricting and isn't a forum default for any popular message board software, nor is there justification for decreasing someone's mailbox to that size anyway.

Considering that those who contribute to the community are far outnumbered by those who do not, and that those who do not contribute to the community don't send/receive messages, I don't think this is a major issue. If we take a look at the memberlist, we'll see maybe 10 accounts per page that are active, with the rest being inactive or not participating.

I have room for 400.
All depends on post count, I think. I have 1300+ messages in my inbox, so I'm wondering if I've gotten to the point where there IS no limit.
