Sadly, though some of these are great ideas on the face of things, they have many flaws that come with them.
1. This is a possible idea to consider, but why can't you just send them a PM on the Forums, or email them? I understand that you may not know their email, or they may not have a forum account, however, if it's someone that you sometimes need that urgently to send them an offline message, surely you would have a means of contact such as email or the forums?
2. This would be incredibly annoying for a very large number of people. If someone wants to talk to someone, they add them to their buddy list, it's not fair on people to suddenly be receiving messages from Spammers, and/or people they don't know.
3. If 1 was implemented, this also would have to be implemented.
4. If people want help with builds, then they can come on here, PM someone, or ask for help in the appropriate section. It's not fair if people start logging in to about 50 messages asking for builds and advice. A lot of people play this game as a way to have a bit of fun, and take a break from life - this would make things a lot harder, since players would log on and have to go through loads of build requests, if they didn't, they'd be branded as unhelpful and rude. If people want to help with builds, they will offer their support off their own back in-game or on here, but it's not fair to force it upon them.
5. You have the faction board to leave messages to anyone in you faction, and you have private chat with them if they are online also. I don't see what else could be given, since it covers both 'leave messages' and 'instant messaging'.
6. This also would have to be implemented if 1 and 3 were implemented.
Thing is, if it's multiple people spamming you, and if you're someone like Comical Biker, or Fay Beee, a Mod/Admin or anyone famous, you'd log in to an endless stream of messages, which isn't fair really. You can't just block one person, since it wouldn't solve much of the issue. If we offered the option to block all messages, I know for a fact, that most players would end up having their messages turned off, since they'd turn up in Oz and get about 10 'F4f' messages, or they'd be lucky in battle and start getting abuse from the other player, via this messaging system. It'd end up being turned off by so many people, the whole feature would become rather redundant.
It's a good idea, the cons are just slightly too large the allow full consideration of the implementation of something like this.
