Potentially a stupid question, but I'm still a novice.

I know that double/multiple negatives are allowed in Russian, but are they mandatory? For instance, if I wanted to say, "Nobody calls me anymore," would I have to say, "Nobody never doesn't call me," in order to be understood? Or at least to avoid having the natives laugh in my face?

The first is double negative; the second is triple, and it's superfluous,though possible.
