While we can disallow regular members from using PM's and we can hide the e-mail buttons as well, some members actually are licensed and do need help; I know this is not the case all the time, but it does appear more often than none.
It is best that if you do not wish to receive PM's or E-Mails that you turn such options off. For those placing AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo information in their profiles, that too is best left out if you are concerned about non-licensed members contacting you.
Personally, if anyone contacts you via AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, or PM/E-Mail here at vBT asking for hacks, template modifications, license information, or anything relating to such, I would hope that you use the ignore button quickly

. Any members caught doing so will be placed instantly on global ignore, i.e. tachy goes conventry
