PM from friends only

This idea cropped up for a couple of reasons:

We have dealt with several cases since the apps launched where users have received either spam messages in-game or messages from people they didn't want to talk to (e.g. someone they aren't getting along with in a league as an example)

Both the developers and support on iGP have also been receiving messages from users in-game asking us about features or support when we already have other channels for this

I think the best is as an option in preferences, and maybe with the option to let you get only get messages from friends and people from your league too.

I understand why most players want these changes, but for me it'll be very inconvenient. I always send messages with a guide and league rules to new players or notify when I kick somebody off and in some other cases. So ideally it would be :
1) Messages within the league should be always permitted
2) There should be a preference, but when a new player sign in this function should be off and can be activated later.

Yes, the default option will be to keep the setting disabled, and it will be the player's choice to enable it.

I voted yes, if we can choose. Sometimes When I see a question in a forum thread that go off topic I answer by PM, in all cases those managers aren't my in-game friends.

I agree with the blockage I get several messages even today the reason to write here is I am in favor of blocking private message for privacy reason would only be appropriate for friends sometimes I get ironic messages that annoys me a lot I am in favor of the block would help a lot in the privacy of the player.

Just a thought. Would it be better if you could simply block messages from specific accounts? If someone sends you an upsetting or offensive PM you add them to a "blocked list" which stops them messaging you again.
This overcomes the problems identified by Hjbjg and Gustavo.

Would it better if private messages in-game could only be sent to you by friends?
