      So in the mobile UI, I see hints to a chat function :
      screenshot,  showing status modifiers
      and further down:
      screenshot, showing no active chats
      But how does it work?
      Is it even enabled?

      Sometimes it would be really nice to be able to contact someone in real time, so I'd like to give it a spin, if possible.

      If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

        It is intentionally disabled, as I believe it would be misused (think roms).

          Ah, spam prevention I gather?

          Too bad, could have been nice...

          Thanks for clearing that up.

              @Zigurana I updated my post - I'm certain it would end up being used for trading of copyright software. Also although it can be useful, I found on the old forum, many people just joined and sent me a PM asking for help. Although it can be seen as inconvenient people can choose to let their email be shown if off board contact is needed, or via other means (irc as mentioned above).

                I understand. Thanks for taking the time to explain.
