No PMs before 10 posts?

[JeiJeiJei]

Hi! Anything to help with topic in title? I wanted to sell something on the forums here but that is very difficult without the ability to answer PMs. Is there a "throwaway" board or something where one could reach the post limit or what is the suggested method here?

The purpose of minimum posts is to avoid abuse by users like yourself

I don´t understand All I am trying to do is sell a GPU and some other components, how is that abuse? The only reason I asked this was to comply with rules 100% and not to abuse the system in any way.

Edit: What I mean is that, I would like to PM somebody to agree on sales and not post anything extra to any forums just to avoid useless clutter and abuse.

10 post counts is needed to activate the PM function.

The purpose is to prevent new accounts from spamming existing members' PM inbox with adverts and vulgar stuffs. It has happened many times in the past, so the admin has implemented this setting.

Do note that if you are mindlessly spamming the forum just to get 10 post counts, your account's access to the forum will be restricted for spamming.

Yes, I understand this and like said want to respect the rules of this forum as much as possible. The reason why I asked was just to confirm if there was some middleground between supporting new users and avoiding spammers to avoid bots etc.

Thank you for your feedback and I will take note.

Go ahead to post a few replies in the threads you created till you hit 10 post count. Bumping your own threads will not be consider as spamming as long as you stick to the 1 thread policy stated in the sticky of the respective garage forum.

Have a nice day.

So we can do this here? I need to help some people by PM-ing them but I can't due to low post counts

No this Support/Feedback forum is not for spam.

As others above have mentioned, you only need 10 posts to use the PM function. From your post count you are only 2 more posts away. I'm sure you can find something appropriate to post about in our many interesting forums.
