Spamming
We’ve had several reports in recent weeks about private message spamming on the forum – in other words a small number of people have been abusing the PM system by sending unsolicited PMs, promoting websites or services. We don’t approve of spam in any form. If you are spammed, please feel free to report it to me.

Minimum of Five Posts
As of 1st August, private messaging will become available after you have made your fifth post.

If on this date you have made fewer than five posts, you will lose access to the PM system and you may lose stored messages.

It may take up to one hour after you have made your fifth post before you will be able to access private messaging.
