    After sending several PMs, I'm getting this error message and unable to send PM anymore.

    Can I know when I should be able to send PM again?

    There is a time limit. I think it's every 30 minutes for users with a light green name, although I'm not sure. Unless you was PM spamming, in which case you was probably banned from sending PM's.

    Were you spamming people via PM by chance?

    Is this a permanent ban from sending PM or have any timeframe before my account back to normal state?

    My guess is that I'm banned from sending PM because it has been almost 2 days now I'm getting "You are suspended from sending private messages" in DP.

    It's not permanent, but the timeframe depends on how much PM spamming you were doing. The more spamming you were doing, the longer the suspension is.

    Actually, I have very similar service to those who I have sent PM and was proposing my service to them.

    I noticed that they have recently posted in require of links in Link Sales forum and I was just proposing my link building service thread via PM to them with reference to their thread.

    I'm not sure this will count as spamming.

    I think if you cut and paste the same thing and send to a number of people it will assume that you are "spamming"! I got a 1 month sentence for asking the same question to a number of people e.g. Please could you send your url to

    I'm pretty sure it's spamming as you was offering a service they didn't ask for. They didn't ask for link building, they asked for individual links. Just wait out your ban and you'll be able to PM again at some point, just don't spam peoples' inboxes again when you regain the privileges.

    Thank for the highlight guys. I hope my PM will be activated soon. It's hard to communicate with other genuine members too.
