Bug Suspension from sending Private Messages

    Hello,

    I have a problem with private messaging. Every time I try to send a private message I get the warning that my account has been suspended from sending private messages. I have already written 26 posts and have 1 thread and I didn't spam anywhere. Besides, PM was available for the first time when I registered, and now I can't send any private message.
    Please, let me know what's the problem with my account and how can I repair it?
    Am I doing anything wrong?

    Thank you.

    Even with the enough privileges, PM spamming is not allowed or in other words, if you send too many PMs - the system will automatically say that you're just about spamming and will disable your rights to do so.

    Thank you. And how long will it last? Or my account is banned forever?

    Well I wouldn't really know to be honest. I don't use PMs much. A mod will be able to clear things out for ye. I just don't think it'll be permanent - it will comeback someday. When? that again, I do not know.

    I never faced this problem myself, so can not suggest something specific.
    But, you can just refrain from using PM for a few days and meantime try to increase your post count by contributing something useful to the board.
    May be a restriction based on account age/post count/usergroup.

    Digitech pretty much sums it up. Contribute a bit, and hold off on trying to send PM's for a few days.

    I will also suggest the same. Explore different forums here and post something useful. After some days again try to send PM.

    Time to find new partners. Your partners are reporting you for spam.

    Clueless in Cleveland: Dear Answer Guy - I threw my ball into the air. How long does it take to come down?

    Answer Guy: Depends on how high you threw it.

    Clueless in Cleveland: But what if I want it now?

    Answer Guy: Then you probably shouldn't have thrown it.

    Still suspended...I would just go out and make another account but my account has a good buyer profile of not ripping people off. Please reinstate my account so I can send PMs again and I won't send out a bunch of messages trying to purchase things from people anymore. I promise :)

    I thought you said you were only PMing your partners? If they are your partners, wouldn't it be easier just to email, call or IM them? And why are you buying the same thing from multiple partners?

    And more importantly, why do your partners report you for spamming them?

    I kind of doubt that anybody reported me for spamming them because they were selling blog posts in the link sellers forum. I kept sending out a PM asking them if they had the kind of blog that I am interested in, but I sent it out to too many people.

    Once again, I highly doubt that anybody who was selling something got mad about a single PM. The system just thought I was spamming because I sent out a lot of messages.

    I'm good for the digital point economy!
