that's a issue with knive's chat right?

 

[meliarose]

i'm doing good these days
yeah it was an issue before i joined staff. never figured it out.

i believe i checked and the setting that allowed players to PM staff was enabled but it's been a while so might be making that up.

what i would try is remove the system all together. restart the shard to remove any saves it has in place and then install a fresh copy of knives chat. that way you kind of reset everything to default and i'm guessing will fix the issue.

ugh that didn't work

One thing to check is open the chat with [c then click on the "O" or "M" like you see my cursor pointing at below.
- Click Mail button
- See if "Only friends can send messages" is checked

I tested on my private shard and a player acct could pm a staff account but once I checked that box the player just gets a message saying "no matching names found"




Another thing to check if that didn't work:

go to this folder: Knives Chat 3.0 Beta 9\General
and open file Message.cs

and see if the first part matches this

public static bool CanMessage(Mobile from, Mobile to)
        {
            if (from == to)
                return false;

            if (from.AccessLevel > to.AccessLevel)
                return true;

            Data df = Data.GetData(from);
            Data dt = Data.GetData(to);

            if (df.Banned || dt.Banned)
                return false;
            if (df.FriendsOnly && !df.Friends.Contains(to))
                return false;
            if (dt.FriendsOnly && !dt.Friends.Contains(from))
                return false;
            if (df.Ignores.Contains(to))
                return false;
            if (dt.Ignores.Contains(from))
                return false;
            if (dt.Messages.Count >= Data.MaxMsgs && !dt.WhenFull)
                return false;

            return true;
        }
