# Introduction

This module prevents unaffiliated users from sending private messages in
chat rooms, unless someone with an affiliation (member, admin etc)
messages them first.

# Configuration

The module doesn't have any options, just load it onto a MUC component.

``` lua
Component "muc"
modules_enabled = {
    "muc_block_pm";
}
```
