Moderators drscorpio 2,836 Posted October 20, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Moderator's Note: It is because you are a New Member. Keep posting and participating, and you will be promoted out of that group. Also, we were having problems with spammers making accounts to send private spam messages. Currently new members are very restricted in this area for this reason. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

"New Member" isn't just about when you signed up, it's about whether you've participated in the community. So you ARE still a New Member. It says as much right under your (default) avatar.

Starintrovert 3 Posted October 20, 2020 Report Share Posted October 20, 2020 Thank you for the question and answer. Now it makes sense to me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To be a little more specific… There were a few days where there were hundreds of new account registrations. They then used those accounts to send out spam private messages. The accounts were deleted and the PMs deleted as well. But in some ways the damage was done. People who had "send me an email when I receive a new PM" got the spam messages in their email inboxes. Clearly I can't delete email from your inboxes, so that couldn't be undone. Some of those users then reported those emails as spam to their email service providers. For example Google lets me see the percentage of emails that I send that are marked spam by their users. Most often it's 0%. Sometimes it's 0.2%, but it almost never gets above 0.5%. But this past Friday (days after I'd deleted everything I could) it spiked to 3.3%. Luckily it went right back to zero the next day, so Google should see it as an anomaly, not a meaningful pattern. The logical way to deal with all that was to simply turn off the messaging system for new users. This is (primarily) a forum site, not a private message system. So now if you come on here and immediately complain that you can't send PM, I'm gonna assume you're a spammer. Participate in the public parts of the community, earn some trust, and in time you'll be able to send PMs. Just not right away. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I found it a bit frustrating at first. But by participating, I not only moved up the ranks, as it were, but made some great contacts with like-minded guys all over the world who I might never have been in touch with. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evilalex 380 Posted October 22, 2020 Report Share Posted October 22, 2020 Lordt, I've been around since before the site existed. Back when there was the old bug chasing/ gift giving forum, I can't remember what it was called. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
str8mature5 13 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Share Posted October 27, 2020 How come when i go to send a message it says 0 allowed for the day? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

New members - and "new" is defined by how much you've participated, NOT by how long you've been a member - can't send messages, because spammers were gaming the system by signing up in bulk and then messaging members right and left. Keep making posts and replies and comments on the message boards, and you'll be able to message eventually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TinyClit 18 Posted October 30, 2020 Report Share Posted October 30, 2020 RawTop you are my personal hero. You saved me at a time in my life I needed to know people like you existed because I thought I am alone. I read your blogs, messages you and you have me advice. Anyway I admire you and I’ve been around a long time just always lose a profile so usually on a couple times a year. Can I ask your advice again? I’m in mid-40s, I’m tall and nice curvy body I am about two months away from not fat and nice, I have a cute tiny clit and I’m a sub bottom. I want to try porn so bad I can’t stand the thought I won’t ever do it. ive been listening to Asa Akita’s audio book and it’s just what I feel about doing this. And Asa works so hard at taking cock in her ass to make the best movies and I want to also take as much cock as perfectly as possible. i wonder if you could give me a name of a studio, or a way to get a break. I’m attaching this picture which is funny and fat, but I’m losing fast and soon I will look great. Do you think I could find a studio for me? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The moderators have explained elsewhere that the algorithms used to determine these things are not public. That is to keep spammers, etc. from figuring out how to game the system by automated postings, then blasting messages to members. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
