Requests to enable Private Messages
Hello! I know there are some threads similar to this but I still can't get an explanation for this problem.
I'm very new at MR but I've already my account activated and I've done some posts. I'm really enjoying the place, but for some reason I'm not able to Private Message, I'm looking in my Edit Options to activate them but there's simple no option to do it. Same thing for the signature, when I tried to edit it it just says that I don't have the privilege to do it. Please does anybody know what could be happening? I've attached some captures of what I see... |

I don't know the exact number of posts necessary for you to unlock these features, but most likely you haven't reached it yet. I know it's frustrating. A few more posts should do it.

Sometimes members are restricted because of spammers. Before this policy, spammers would join and spam via Private Messages which moderators don't see.
If you don't have PM access, and need PM access, just post a message at the end of this thread. Last edited by pdurrant; 04-12-2023 at 02:32 AM. |

Thank you guys, I just sent an email to one of the admins and he was able to "unlock" the private messages for me.

And by the way, if this happens to someone else, I just found the email address in the welcome email you receive when you sign up.
I was posting a lot and doing some interactions, but at the end that was the final solution. So check you first ever MobileRead email. |

Hey! This works! Someone on MR taught me how to do this when I complained about there being no Welcome emoticon. |

When was that started? It sounds like a good idea overall. Would that it was so easy to keep spammers from the main boards.

I do believe an in between mode is needed.
I (as a long time user) can't send a PM to a new user because they are locked out. I think the should be able to RECEIVE and reply (ONLY). No originate or CC adding allowed until their qualifying period/activity has elapsed. |
