Can't respond to PMs?

[Beermethatdisc]

Hey everyone,

I'm new here and have gotten a few PMs but I have no option to respond to any of them. Am I missing something? Is there something else I need to do with my account before I can get permissions to PM someone?

You have to have so many posts to be able to use the PM feature. I forget if it's 5 or 10. It's an anti-spam measure, so spammers can't create an account and start spamming people by PM. I see you have 5 posts, make 5 more and see if you can then.

Your account says you've only posted 3 times since you joined in April.

Hi wow I would like to completely apologize for responding to this post... I mistook this forum for another forum I am on. Embarrassing. Yes, then the mods are correct.

So if I want to reply to PMs, can I just reply to this thread four more times?
