Nah, see it would 'prevent' abuse - we have issues with people not posting mean or borderline posts out on the boards, because my diligent mods will get it right away, and they'll be on moderated - so they try to sneakily send mean things via PM - and we still end up figuring it out, but then it takes a lot more time to examine the PM's, see who sent who what, etc.. a lot more time and effort on the staff. Plus there are certain people who will spar with each other on the boards, within limits, and that's okay, and they just want to make sure the other person doesn't attack them in PM.

Or say you have an ex on the boards - and you don't care if your ex posts, or replies to threads you have posted in, you don't want them on ignore, but you just don't want them PM'ing you.. if you could block them from sending you PM's, would that be a bad thing?
