Has there also been a change in the Messaging rules?

Along with Yesterday's change to the Mention rules, did the Messaging rules change also. I am finding, this morning, that I can not PM any one I'm not connected to. I know in the past I have messaged unconnected members to get clarification on post, and to see if we were at some point in time at the same place, before making a connection.

Rick, It would seem like there are a number of thing going on back in the RP back office...and that is not atypical of a technology based company... It may be days or weeks before we know much of anything, if at all...

I had the same experience, tried to message Joe Davis, but couldn't as we are not connected. Did not want to bother him with a contact request.

Yes, the messaging rules were changed. The change prevents users from spamming the community with unwanted messages. We've had a lot of that going on here on RP with people getting messages from dating scammers, crude photos, etc. Now you need to be connected with someone to send them private messages.

If you're not connected to a member you will be unable to tag/mention or message them.
