How do I increase the number of PMs I can send?
I don't have many post count as I have been lurking (joined 6 months ago). However, recently since yesterday I have been receiving PMs from people, after starting a thread. The problem is that flyertalk doesn't let me reply to all of these PMs. Apparently I have exceeded my daily limit. I am not spamming!
"You have exceeded the maximum number of private messages per day. This limit is removed after you become an established community member. Please contact an administrator if you feel this is in error."
How do I become an "established community member" or otherwise remove the PM limit?
Any help appreciated. Thank you!

You need to post more in public. There's some magic number you have to hit and the PM restriction will be removed.

Welcome to FT!
Just continue to read threads you are interested in, and ask questions or add information to help others. Before you know it, you will hit whatever number of posts is necessary, and make many acquaintances doing it.

Moderators can delete posts if they think you're post padding. Surely with all the forums here you can find some questions to answer, some discussion to contribute to, or even a question to ask. If not, maybe FlyerTalk is not the place for you.

Ever since I realised that there were posting level qualifications for such things as PMs, Wikis, etc. it has seemed to me that it encourages too many frivolous posts. Unless, of course, the moderators quietly remove them from the count!
Aha, not quick enough.
