hey fubarians,
i've just added some new stuff to your
privacy settings page. in addition to controlling who can send you messages in your shoutbox, private messages, profile and photo comments by family/friends/everyone/nobody you can now require them to have a salute as well.
for example, if you have your private messages set to family only, and check the 'require salute' box, everyone in your family will need a salute to send you a private message. or, if you have it set to 'everybody' and check the 'require salute' box, only members with a salute can send you a private message.
werd.
ps: the privacy settings for photo comments also apply to mum and blog comments.
