I agree with that, PMs should be seen as a privilege that some users allow you to contact them privately, rather than it being a right to be able to contact users privately.

Similar to the old "allow emails from users" preference.

That said, individual wikis are still within their rights to enact a policy regarding that, and if users think that that is overbearing, they can simply not use that chat.

On a related note, whenever anyone asks me to join the chat so they can talk to me, I tell them: "Anything you have to say to me can be said in public", and the same goes with PMs.
