I was thinking, why don't we have a private messaging system? I understand the sort of comment-on-people thing, but I think that a PM system would be great!

A great suggestion for a tool that I think could end up being incredibly useful.

Well, I'm glad to be of some use around here (see my last few topics :P). The only forum I'm truly active in has this feature, so I've kind of assumed that other places have it, but few do. It's a worthwhile addition, I believe.

I agree with you. If you want too talk too someone about something then you should be able to do that instead of doing it in public. Good suggestion.

I also feel it would help balance out points some. Personaly I don't think people should get 2 points for every single sentence they type, and many people on Armorgames will hold full conversations in each others comments by posting one sentence at a time.

Yes. I like this idea. When i wanted to give a friend a email. I didn't want anyone else to see it,theres been people adding me randomly and i dont even know them. So i really would like this.

Definitely something that has been brought up before, but I'm glad for the resurrection. I think it's a necessary implementation. Obviously no AP should be awarded for PM-ing at all.

I'm actually confused why you guys don't want AP for it. I personally think normal comments should only give out one point, and so should PMs. Why do you think for no AP?

Also, administrators would have to have a little button saying 'Show PM' so they can see if someone is spamming a ghost account.

I think that it would be nice to have something like IMing. Except it would be AMing. Armor Messaging!

But people who want AP will still post comments instead of pming.

Yeah, I'd probably do that. Maybe they could give you like 2 AP every 5 comments.

Nah, maybe 1 AP per 2 comments. Seeing 823.32 AP would be kinda weird.
