This is a feature some other sites have, and I think it's useful. When you look in your sentbox (and I realize this site doesn't differentiate sentbox from inbox, but anyway), there's an indication as to whether or not your message has been read. For example, Deviant Art shows sent unread messages as gold, and sent messages that have been clicked on as silver.

This could clear up those "did you get my message?" situations by letting the person who sent the message see if it's been received or not, so if a message sent 5 days ago is unread, then that might mean the person isn't checking their PMs at the moment, or hasn't been on, rather than that they're being rude.

Nooooo, please. When I'm not interested at reading private drama and scorns, be they here or anywhere else, I either mark them as read or simply ignore them (depending on the site). I don't want someone to keep bombarding me with nonsense just because I don't care about his or her posts. This is called stalking, and it's not fun. At all.

Edit: Oh the irony. Right after posting this, I've been told that a PM reached. Sorry, but I'm not in mood to read scorns and drama now. Thanks.

Bumping to see if this generates enough interest to warrant putting on Wishlist.

Seems like no. So closing.
