johng Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Is the reason I can't send personal messages because I am still a noob? If not, when would I be able to send them? Either way, how long (how many posts do I need) till I am no longer a noobie? Thanks! -John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neylitalo Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 PMs have been disabled for the n00bie group, in an attempt to prevent PM spam. (Which, by the way, works very well.) I believe you go from n00bie to the next rank at 25 posts. That being said, I'd like to make a few things clear for everybody who might be asking the same questions. Do NOT spam the boards so you can reach your 25 posts, or however many it is. The same applies to sending PMs for help once you are no longer a "n00bie". Don't. If you need help with something and notice that someone is particularly good at the subject at hand, just post and hope that they see it and respond. Do not contact anybody with requests for help.

johng Posted February 23, 2007 Author Share Posted February 23, 2007 Thanks for the info. It is totally understandable. I was trying to send a PM to thank someone so I didn't have to "bump" a topic. Oh well. Thanks again! -john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The same applies to sending PMs for help once you are no longer a "n00bie". Don't. If you need help with something and notice that someone is particularly good at the subject at hand, just post and hope that they see it and respond. Do not contact anybody with requests for help. I second that - sending someone a PM asking to look at a topic is a pretty surefire way to make sure they don't help with it. If you're going to PM someone asking for help, be prepared to pay them their consulting fee... On Preview: thanking someone is certainly welcome though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 FYI, the noobie group is only until 10 posts.... so you don't have far to go, johng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
