How do I prevent PMs? (fedia.io)

Sorry if I'm in the wrong place. Is there a setting where I can turn off people's ability to PM me? The spamgirl is annoying me, and I'm sure more will follow in her wake.

On other sites with spam issues, I'd turn off the ability for people to PM me and, if they asked on a thread I was on, I'd either re-enable PMs or add them to an approved users list. I thought I'd seen that ability here (I'm on the plain web version of fedia.io), but may well have been confusing it with some other site.

Thank you!

As far as I understand it's unfortunately not an option. I've mentioned it alongside an open issue for reporting DMs here: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/issues/1423

Okay, thanks! The good news is that at least I wasn't overlooking a setting somewhere, lol !
