Default Sorry to waste your time!

I needed one more post in order to respond to a pm I received. 10 posts required to respond to a pm.
What's up with that?

Hi Shawn,

It helps to prevent spam. Otherwise, spammers register and start to immediately spam everybody's mail boxes (which is what has happened in the past).

Best wishes,

Dien

Also, YOU have selected to NOT receive emails in your profile settings, hinting at, perhaps, you don't want forum spam either, right?

10 is hardly a difficult number to hit with a very little amount of participation.

Maybe, the Warrior Forum is a more appropriate place for you?

Well Gordon that is a bit harsh

(ok, I haven't added any value but I've got my first post in the bank)

(member from long, long ago)

I thought his post was juvenile, considering he only needed this one post to be able to use the PM feature. There is a reason, as Dien explained, and we like to protect our members.

I get spam EVERYDAY from the Warrior Forum, which I did NOT opt in to receive.

We want to prevent someone from signing up, then spamming the members.

IF you were a former member here, then you know damn well, for ME, that was a gentle pat on the back, not harsh at all.

Gordon
