Default Request to TWI for Modders

A) It's sad to waste time finding which pm is the less important and delete still useful PMs. Not to count the time wasted sorting them out... Please allow more PMs for modders (what about 999?).

B) Many release threads have an outdated title and require to be updated. Although we can edit the title of the OP (title that nobody reads), it doesn't change the title of the thread. Please give the ability to modders to rename the title of the threads they create.

Now don't understand me wrong here but the first part sounds a bit arbitrary. First of all, you already have space for 100 PMs so only way I see a problem occur is when you receive close to that amount at the same time. Otherwise you can just delete unimportant PMs after reading them. That way they wont stay there haunting your inbox with their uselessness. Also, when I receive an important PM regarding the mod, I have a tendency to save it to either a text file in a folder in my computer or to a topic in the mods own forum. That's mostly due to me being a bit paranoid so I pretty much always do backups of my important stuff. One way to go around this could also be favoring the use of email. You have insane amounts of space (i.e. in Gmail) so you will never run out. And labeling messages as important or unimportant is very easy so you can easily see what is important and what isn't.

But just know that I don't want to undermine you and I don't oppose your idea in any way. I'm just saying there's alternatives too

With or without limit, I always delete unimportant messages, and yet in the last 2 weeks I went from 90% to 94%. I could copy the content to some file, but dude, what a waste of time! I'd rather pay TWI a few bucks to get more space.

But anyway, say you have 1000 modders, with an average of 9999 messages, of 4 kb (massive overestimation). That makes what, something around what, 40 GB? Unless the website is using an old database engine, that number shouldn't be an issue. No?
