Can we PM people? Like I saw a kanji practice grid posted from an old thread but I forgot to bookmark it. But I remember the username. Is there a way to directly message them?

Nope, sorry. They explained why somewhere.
You can use the @ to alert people in a post. Like this, @lopicake
Haha, I knew you’d respond and you’re actually the person I needed to message. Do you still have that kanji sheet you made where you write the kanji, then the meaning, the reading, etc.? I’ve been practicing just with a regular grid chart but that just helps me write it not remember the meanings.
Also, thanks for the info!

There’s a few reasons.
First, we don’t want you plotting against us (just kidding).
Second, there’s going to be a time where someone tells us they are being harassed via PM.
Then, because admins have the power to read private messages, we would read your private messages to check on said harassment.
At that point, everyone will realize we have the power to read your dirty nasty private messages, and flip out.
I don’t like the idea of having the power to read anyone’s PMs. Also don’t like th…
TL;DR - Admins have the ability to read PMs which is pretty creepy, so they disabled it.
Admins are allowed to PM anyone because that’s how we send warnings to bad kids. And if we do PM you, of course you can message back. But that’s it. No one can PM other than admins.
