Hello DP members, I recently made a new account on this forum. One thing i've noticed is that i can't send direct messages. I know a few people here from another popular IM forum. Whenever i try to write something, I always get a popup that my message has un solicitated material or spam content. Get this, I'm just asking for advice from a person whose thread i was reading earlier. Plus I can't even send 'hello' messages to anyone without trying a 100 times. Can someone please tell me why this is so ? Thanks in advance Regards, Daniyal
Give it some time, participate in the forum and I'm sure you'll pass the threshhold checks and be able to send conversation messages.
Make quality posts and build up a solid reputation here. That will definitely unlock many of the restrictions and enable you to do a lot more.
...sending unsolicited PM's is spam. If you sent a "hello" to me, I would have reported you for unsolicited spam. ... good to see the system works.
Oh right! There's a threshold to be eligible to send. Fair enough.. i've seen alot of spam in various forums. Thanks for the advice. ... ahh why would i send you 'hello' messages anyway? Didn't I mention in the post that I have friends from different forums. I'm sure they won't mind any of the 'Hello' messages from me.
But forum don't know that he/she is your friend and you are treated as other new users to protect from spam.
