Why are private messages called PRIVATE messages when they’re not private?

The mods see them, so they’re not private.

Improved Private Message Features

Thu, 18 Dec 2025 00:06:52 +0000

We have updated private messages with some upgrades to make it more useful.

1.) When you go to your private messages (profile -> private messages), you can now just type in the name of a user to message and it will autocomplete the rest to help you find them. You can also just enter the entire name. Users must have more than 1,000 points to appear in the list.

2.) When messaging a specific user (hit the reply icon) you can now see a scrollable list of all your conversations with them.

3.) You will see a list of recent contacts to make it easier to select conversations.

Private Messages Feedback

All registered users should be able to send messages. Please let us know if you have any issues with it. Everything is moderated, so you can't send anything personal or not safe (no bullying, advertising, hurtful, not family-friendly, etc.).

New Feature - Private Messaging

Sun, 17 Dec 2023 23:30:40 +0000

We want to make an official announcement about the new private messaging feature. If you are a registered user and click on the profile of another user, you will see a private message button. Currently, you can only message moderators and staff. Please use it to report any problems or concerns you are having.

We plan to open the beta release to messaging other users. However, it will take some time to fully complete, since we need to keep everyone safe, just like we do with regular KidzTalk posts and answers/comments. We will make an announcement when it is open to more users.

Do you have any questions about the current version? What do you think about getting email notifications when a private message is sent? Should that be optional? What features would you like to see?
