Why everytime I go to my PM's I get this...
When for the past few days I've been able to go into my PM's without a problem.Sorry, an error occurred. If you are unsure on how to use a feature, or don't know why you got this error message, try looking through the help files for more information.
The error returned was:
You Do not have the required amount of posts to use the PM system
The PM system has just been disabled for all members with less than 20 posts, as an anti-spam measure.
Sorry for the inconvenience, but the PM system is open to abuse; with this measure we can limit its misuse.
Oh man
Does that mean that I wouldn't be able to send a PM to a new member either?Originally posted by Lamsey@30 December 2003 - 09:18

that rule almost sounds good but I see problems like what titey asked and what if they spam 20 replies just to pm someone
think it could cause more problems
I wasn't thinking of them spamming just to be able to use PMs.... but yer right, that could be an issue.Originally posted by muchspl2@30 December 2003 - 09:39

I was more concerned wif the fact that it appears that I can PM sheerblade for example.... does that mean that he couldn't read that PM till he'd accumulated 20 posts?
There have been a couple of times in the past that I've PMd someone who was new in order to try an' help them out. Usually it was because they'd inadvertently done/said somefing that might raise eyebrows, an' I didn't want to appear to be chastising them on the open board. Now though it would appear that doing such a thing won't be possible.
Don't know if they can read them or not, will have to ask admin.
Tanx Liam.
I think this could be crazy, especially if it stops newcomers from reading PMs which someone else has sent to them - it just means they will have to spam in order to get 20 posts so they could read and write PMs.

the solution to this is SPAMOriginally posted by sheerblade@30 December 2003 - 08:20
Oh man
if you're a newbie and need to ask a question, the only way to ask a smart person a question is to spam to 20 posts and then pm.
is this what's intended?
