Personal Messages (or PM for short) are messages that users send and receive from each other.
Roblox has a personal messaging system which allows users to send personal message (or PM for short) to other users. Every individual message can only be seen by the sender and the receiver - however, all messages go through Roblox's moderation system and reported messages are sent to a [[Moderators|moderator]] for inspection.

Click on a message to look at it, or you can delete a bunch of messages at once by clicking the little checkbox, and then hitting the Delete button. Be careful! You cannot get your messages back once you delete them!

Creating a new message is a simple process. Go find someone to send a message to, I'll send a message to Telamon.
 
Here is Telamon's [[My Profile|User Page]], and right underneath his Blurb is a link that says Send Message! See it? Click that button and it will give you a new webpage.

On this page you can create your message to send to your friend. The Subject part should be a short statement of what the message is about. In my message, I put 'Wiki Work' to let Telamon know that I'm working on the wiki, and the message will be about the Wiki.
 
The Message box is where you write your message. Try to spell correctly and write neatly so the other person can read your message. The better your message, the more likely they are to reply! My message is short, because that's all I needed to say. Sometime my messages are really long! Once you finish your message, hit '''SEND''' at the bottom of the message box to send your message on it's way!

==Archive==
 
To keep a collection of old messages, ROBLOX created a separate tab for the messaging system called the 'Archive', where you can store messages, out of your inbox. This can be useful for reviewing previous content. To archive a message, you can simply select any of the messages and your inbox, and then press the 'Archive' button near the bottom of the page to move the selected items. If you want to move a message from the Archive to the inbox, select messages in the archive section, then press the 'Move to Inbox' button near the bottom of the page to move the selected items.
