I just chatted DM with a member here without being 'technically' a friend. That is strange because the default is DM only with friends. Now, in this community everybody knows each other pretty much so no harm done.
So I tested it out on my local machine and indeed I can DM with a person without a friendship while both our profiles have "Only friends" as default.
Me thinks this may be a bug or am I missing something? Never too old to learn!
