PM system - able to send a PM to yourself

Post by Lukeno94 »

Just a note that a very strange issue, that most people would never spot (apart from the idiots that manage to forget to change the recipient on quoting your own PM), that you can actually send a PM to yourself. Not expecting any fix or anything, but it's a strange thing nevertheless. :D

Is a bug, when postman delivers you a letter with your own address, which you had thrown into mailbox previous day? You're right with not expecting fixing anything. It's a feature, not bug. :D

You possibly could put a warning message in that says "you idiot, you're sending a PM to yourself", but :D just a strange thing that can happen. xD

Isn't it a warning enough that you get a pm from yourself? :D

Well, yes, but you only find that out when it's sent, this warning would stop you from sending it. But :D

i send myself emails all the time with things that i come accross that i need to remember.

suppose the PM feature could be used in a similar way
Hannu, who art in Finland, Räbinä be thy name. Sim racers come, races are won, at Agari, as at Xupong. Give us this day our version 1.06, and forgive us all our impatience, as we race those who challenge against us. Lead us not into boredom, but deliver us from work. For thine is the GeneRally, and the AI, and the race cars. Amen!

I'm well aware of emails doing that, I regularly did this before I had a USB memory stick, but PMing yourself is a bit odd (you can't add attachments, for example).
