50 damn posts to be able to reply or send a private message..

Hi guys - now I hate to whine but seriously this Rule of needing 50 posts to private message someone is really absurd..

Whats the logic behind it?

How are we meant to connect with fellow collectors?

So I can make public posts no problem but not send a private message..
Its beyond frustrating and makes no sense..

I started to add comments to posts and then got a warning from an admin not too..
So how the HELL am I meant to rack up 50 posts?

Seriously makes no sense.. Bizarre.

I just want to get in touch with Nyhousekid and I can't respond to his message I finally received..
If you're reading his pls message me on Kidrobot like the old days bud.

Cheers.

It's set up that way to make sure this board is close and cool.
Unlike other places with 1000s of people who jump on just to buy,sell,flip and go.
As well as it helps detour scammers.
