Because private messaging is talking and sending gifts are really talking but I do not really know why you can send gifts but not pm during a silence I guess its just it I will find out.
This is really unfair. People that are perma silenced can update PiMD and.. "Yay! I can't talk by the gift function now! I love this update!" Now very great to us. But that's another story I think the Devs should not let people that are silenced post messages in the gift, just send a gift without a note in them. That'll do great. SS[/color]CF
