Do i really need 10 or xx amount of post to p/m someone

[The_caveman]

No offense mods....i understood the forsale having that rule way back in the day. Back then pms didnt even work

but really wtf?

Not trying to be a d*** But i already have a pm and i just made this acount today and i cant reply its a little frustrating

[frapjap]

one more to go!!!

You're only 2 posts away from 10 anyways, so what's the big deal about having to make a couple of posts?

Not trying to sound like a jerk, but nobody else has an issue with the rule, so I don't see any need for it to be changed.

EDIT: Looks like you made the quota, problem solved

This prevents from someone from making a new account and spamming everyone's PM box, you're welcome.

Well yeah problem fixed.....but still if someone really wants to spam,there going to go make 10 bs posts and spam....although the spammers might be horrible on here so thanks i guess

Honestly if some sort of verification was done as an alternative, that would work too....the 10 post count is a bit of an annoyance, because I normally don't post much, but when I see something I want to buy up, I go to PM the person. Or, in another scenario, a member PM'd me, but I can't PM them back....yet.

Just make 10 quick posts in gen chat or in the 240 section or something

Honestly, you come to a free forum and btich about anything in the way they do things, you need perspective.

Get over it. And next time make a suggestion and try not to sound like you're owed something.

Not to mention, A post only containing "haha" on a random thread from a guy with 3 posts kinda raises a flag to the moderation staff. It's cool that you want a billion spam emails, but hey, I'm good with how we do things, as are mostly everyone else on here.

^This.

We provide this site for free and the staff spends countless hours trying to bring you the best possible experience possible, i'm sorry if it may not be convenient for you, but I can promise you that it's the way it is for a very good reason. We don't have 150,000+ users on this site just for the donuts and coffee

Oh, and OMG this is simply awesome Jay
