I've noticed that new members message via chat instead of private messages.
I don't use the chat, as the small box in the corner of my screen is really annoying, and the send button doesn't even work for me (it does absolutely nothing).
Is there a way to make it so new members with zero messages can message me anyway? I accept the risks involved with scammers and spammers trying to message me, but as a homebrew developer being able to help new users is more important than wasting few seconds of my time to report/delete spam messages.
Also I want to fully disable the chat, preferably in a way so that if someone wants to message me there, they'd get a popup saying that chat is disabled for me, and they should start a new conversation (private message) instead of a new chat window. Is this somehow possible? All of my messages seem to be new members asking for help (probably because they don't have access to private messages yet?), and it's a nightmare to keep track of help messages in the chat system.
