Suggestion - do not warn people when they message a friend.

[Stuff by Bez]

If you message someone you haven't messaged before, you see the message " Unsolicited messages may get you blocked and affect your reputation."

I suggest that this be removed if you are friends with someone. At that point, surely messages are usually welcomed.

So, how do I message my friends? I am scared that I will get blocked by the system!

You won't get blocked "by the system" automatically. If you are messaging an actual friend, presumably they won't red thumb you, which is how you get "blocked." Your karma may be affected If you 1) say something offensive to someone who 2) reports you and 3) a moderator agrees with them. None of that should happen with someone who is your friend.
