 Description   

Hello,

I can't start a conversation with anyone on spigotmc forum, I can't see the "Start conversation" button. I can response to already opened conversationes, but I can't start a new one, even when I use a link(/conversations/add?to=username.1234). I get this:

SpigotMC - High Performance Minecraft - Error

You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action.

And I don't think it is releated with the user's settings, I tried that with many people, and I even asked on discord to they have the setting set on "Members only".

I have reopened that thread. As for the requirements to PM, we will not be changing them.

Doesn't authors decide about that, I mean isn't there a setting for that?

And still, private questions? Private messages are very usefull for many things, and if authors doesn't wish to get pm'ed, they usually leave an information about it on plugin's page, to do that for example in discussion page, or somewhere else...

What is the plugin's discussion page? It should be open

Comment by TheGamer [ 20/Nov/20 ]

Plugin's discussion page is "Not open for further replies", so I can only contact the dev/report a bug in review section.

And from that what I know(and see) most of dev's doesn't really like that.

Comment by TheGamer [ 20/Nov/20 ]

Usually autors leave an info on plugin's page about where to report bugs.

Example: 

And I can't, because of this. Same thing about private questions.

Comment by md_5 [ 20/Nov/20 ]

No, you should report things to authors in their resource discussion thread.
The point is to prevent spam.

Comment by TheGamer [ 20/Nov/20 ]

Okey, thank You for help

If I may ask, what is the point of this? xD

I only use conversations to report bugs to plugin autor's, or to write them about something. I don't have a single post created on the forum, because I don't have a need to do that. Should I just create few "spam"/non-subject posts just to unlock private messages? I mean, why, what's the point of that "limit"?

You need more public posts to be able to start conversations
