# Not Blocking Private Messaging

 * I have 3 access levels: Free Member, Premium Member, and Visitor. The visitors
   I block from BuddyPress pages (which works fine), the premium members I allow
   to private message and create groups (haven’t tested yet but those are added 
   to the Positive Rules), and the free members I want to block from private messaging
   and creating groups (I have those added to the negative rules).
 * But when I try it out with two test accounts (both are showing up as part of 
   the free member access level/subscription plan) it allows private messages the
   same as normal.
 * I’m running WP 4.0, BuddyPress 2.1.1, and Version 3.4.6.1 of Membership Premium
   which I got as part of the WPMUDEV bundle. I have no other membership plugins
   active or installed.
 * Thank you in advance for any help you can give 🙂

 * Hi [@geistschatten](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geistschatten/),
 * Thanks for your patience here! WordPress.org actually discourages support of 
   commercial products here (see: [Commercial products are not supported here](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome#Commercial_Products)).
 * However, we’d love to discuss this with you if you’ll get in touch through our
   [Contact form](http://premium.wpmudev.org/contact/).
 * I’m sure we could get that sorted quickly for you there. How does that sound?
   🙂
 * Cheers, David
