PMing new users
 

So I have a few things on FSOT but it seems that all my thread replies are from newbies saying they cannot PM and to PM them. I've PMd them but with no response. Are they notified when I PM and can they respond? Or are they simply not replying to me? TIA!

they cannot pm you back until they get more non fsot posts. So you can pm them with your email address to contact you or tell them to respond to your thread

Thank you!

I know . . . I am new here (this is my 3rd post) and I got a PM from another user, but I can't reply to her until I get 6 posts. :( I understand why that rule is there, but can't say I like it much. :(

I agree this rule is very frustrating!

Re: PMing new users
 

it's because this is a community. We want you here as a community, not just for the FSOT section.

this. It's not difficult to reach 6 posts, and it makes the members more comfortable with you.

Ah, I understand. I'm new to forums in general. I am excited about having a community to chat with! Thanks.

Thank you for posting this, I was wondering why Iwas getting error message.

Thanks for posting. I was getting frustrated with rule too.
