    This looks like your problem:

    In addition, when responding to someone's thread, you may not post in the thread to "send more information," "PM me the details," or anything similar. If you are interested and don't have a valid question that applies to everyone else then you must PM the OP.

    Post count is how many posts you made. Some people make a bunch of stupid posts to raise their post count to get more attention to their signature links.

    These replies are no longer authorized. Ones such as "PM Me", "Interested", "Send me details", ect

    Radz - People pad their post count to gain access to areas that have post requirements, and because people tend to trust those with a lot of posts more than "new" members who aren't active when it comes to doing business deals. We don't want the forum littered with crap just so people can build a false image of being a strong community member. (And what Aaron said regarding it giving increased sig links.)

    ski28 - It doesn't matter if anyone else posts replies like that. They're against the rules. A lot of those people also get infractions and / or have their posts deleted.
