Hi Folks,
Due to the high volume of scammers hitting our members from ads posted in the Classifieds, we implemented a change to the profiles of "Newly Registered Users."
You're now required to have a minimum of 10 posts on the forum before you can use the private messaging system.
I realize this may cause problems with new members who were on the forum before the change went into place, but be assured once you reach 10 posts, private messaging will become available to you again, and you will not lose any PM's that arrived before the change went into effect.
Thanks,
Mark

Re: Change to Private Messaging
#11Yes, that is a good idea. Can you also apply it to the Classified Section; 10 posts required before some can list items for sale?
Thanks- Ken

#14Great idea, I've been scammed (unsuccessfuly) and was amazed at how fast they got to me on a WTB posting in the classifieds.

#15Just recently two scammers tried on my WTB post in classifieds, and from what I could see they had just joined. They were able to still private message me and with an email to respond to.

#17Gah. I hate when the forum settings don't do what they say they do. I made some more changes, hopefully it'll keep the knuckleheads from doing this.
