I completely agree. There is nothing you can do short of disabling the pm system. With some people it is like you are talking to a brick wall. Regarding paid work, I turn down flat only those users that keep pming me to do free stuff for them even if I have been explaining it very clearly and politely to them that I provide paid support only in private. If they want free help and/or free work then they can post in the forums and/or wait patiently if they have already posted, until they get helped.

And what they do, they reply with something like this: "Dude, I posted at my thread like 10 minutes ago,{link here}. Why are you not replying me". Not to mention the un-understandable posts in very bad/broken english that make my head hurt for days lol
