would be great to be able to msg replies back to people 

Not sure if it's technically possible but it seems reasonable that new members can respond to personal mssgs when someone contacts them.
On the other hand, new members can be viewed as 'fresh meat' and jumped on by the equally frustrated and sex-deprived so although not preventing them being contacted at least it does give our youngsters (of any age) some time to find out what they want and not agreeing to things they might regret later.

Interesting suggestion.

I don't think the concern is so much about "fresh meat" users being hit on (which can happen now), but that allowing them to respond when someone else initiates the message means people will just post a public request to "message me first so I can reply" and thus get around the point of the rule.

Good point.
And we could suggest a rule that prohibits such a public request but that would add to the workload of our brave mods, because people are people who are people who sometimes just break rules.

Why can't I send any messages? It says I am allowed 0 messages per day. What do I need to do to get this changed. Any help is appreciated.

If you read the posts in this very topic where you posted the question, the answer is there. Multiple times. Highlighted. In bright colors.

That's what you said when I asked why my posting privileges weren't upgraded...

READ THIS THREAD. Then read it again. And if you don't understand it, read it a third time.

This is not a "problem". It's an intentional feature. Members here cannot send private messages until they have participated in the *public* forums at a certain (but undisclosed) level of posting. The reasons for this are fully explained in this thread.

You've been a member for just over 31 months and made, in that time, 38 posts or replies, or just barely over 1 per month. I can't say (because I don't know) how many you need to make to advance to the level where private messaging is allowed, but at this pace it's not going to be soon.

This feature really means I have to come out of my shell a bit and this is as good a thread as any to make my first post. I hope the post rate required to get promoted out of New Member doesn't date all the way back to the join date or I'm completely screwed. I created my account over 7 years ago!

I don't *think* it's an "average" posting rate (for instance, 10/month), but a raw (but not publicly disclosed) number of posts (for instance, 50 total posts or whatever). That would take into account that some people are just not regular commenters; it might take you longer to reach that status if you only post once in a while, but your previous long-term lurking, for lack of a better word, shouldn't penalize you per se.

I have commented a lot, and am on the site a lot but i haven't been able to message in  forever. Even though i have been promoted many times. Makes no sense. Cant even message a staff member

Hovering over your avatar (to the left of your post, above), it says you've made 6 posts since joining March 25. I do not think six posts = "a lot" by any standard.
