5 posts first? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Tqconq · 01-17-2008, 05:37 AM

A forum member sent me a very nice PM which I wished to reply to, but when I sent it, I got a message saying something like I needed to post 5 times before I could reply?

I don't like to post too often, but I'd love to be able to reply to anyone who cares to send me a PM. Is this an oversight or do I really need to make 5 posts before I can reply to a PM?

You are only two more posts away.

Such rules protect us all from spammers.

Now if you post a thank you to my answering your question, you will only be one more post away.

Ahh, Spammers.

Yes I didn't take that into account.
Thank You for your reply.
I wasn't trying to circumvent the rules or anything, I was just curious.

I wanted to add that it is set up so new members can send a PM to any moderator before they have 5 posts.
