Adjust default setting?

Apparently you can disable the chat function (envelope icon on top right of the screen) or adjust your settings so that only registered ProZ members can contact you via chat.
Hi Melanie! Yeah, I did that now too. It just seems odd that anyone can send messages without credentials, almost like an invite for abuse. Especially since I for one didn't even know about the chat (I'm sure there was some announcement that I disregarded). I'd say it would make more sense to have it disabled by default, if it's open without registration.

This Harris Edelman contacted me three times already with various translation requests. Quite persistent. These chat requests notifications are now being send directly to my scam file.
Thayenga, he just fell in love with you.

Restricted chat only to verified users
Mar 13, 2019
Thanks for noticing! Evelio, a developer at ProZ.com, has restricted real-time chat to users with verified identity or verified email and disabled sending files via chat.
I hope this will help to deal with scammers for a while. Please, keep sharing scamming information — it's interesting what would be the next move
