Private messaging Disabled criterias

Vexorg · 10-09-2025, 08:16 AM

Likewise to the OP, it would be better to have a clear post on it ot in the sign up information.

I'm in the same boat, the guy offering help only does it by PM (i want to enable cruise control!)

Asap has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

Just for info, I think this is the message most new users see:

Both of the replies that you quoted above were to a regular, long-time, legitimate member who already had PM access, not a new member who is on probation or in the penalty box.....

Vexorg · 10-09-2025, 09:09 AM

I know, was just in case that they hadn't seen the new requirement

Does an admin/user have to actually verify the account. Or is it automatic after a certain number of posts?

mark_933 · 11-02-2025, 02:43 PM

What is the minimum number of posts to enable private messages?

mitev002 · 11-16-2025, 12:55 AM

Same story here " a certain number of verified post replies"

dedxded · 11-21-2025, 06:08 AM

k909068 · 12-03-2025, 09:33 PM

Just realised I have to wait 7 days and post some stuff to have PM lol

chowser51 · 12-07-2025, 12:33 AM

pite · 01-16-2026, 10:12 AM

Is anybody here who knows how this PM policy working in practice? How much post do I need? Is the 7 days counting from fulfill the required posts or from registration?

aiden5524 · 01-16-2026, 01:24 PM

google ai summary says 10-15 posts and we all know google ai never lies

aonngk · 02-04-2026, 03:25 AM

i cannot send pm too

KLUTch_ · 02-15-2026, 09:52 AM

That would make sense on why I can’t message anyone in the classifieds

Robinfrit · 03-02-2026, 04:36 PM

My status changed from registered to new member, but I still can't send private messages. What status do I need to reach to do that?
