Becoming "established member" / remove the 5 Private Message per 24 hrs limit?
 

I'm locked out of sending more PMs today. Is there a post threshold one must reach to become established or is it a matter of time?

Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.

It's the right place. I didn't know we had PM caps on someone who has been a member for just 2 days. Hopefully someone will be along with the answer.

New members have a PM cap limit until they reach a post threshold. We don't really advertise the specific post threshold, as it can change and is in place primarily to prevent spammers from abusing the PM system, so don't want to make it easy to circumvent, but it is generally pretty minimal.

ah ok, thanks - it's not a big problem but wondered what was going on

Too many PM's in on day?
 

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.

I looked to see what the limit was, couldnt find it....Lets say its 5, is that 5 from 12-12, or from when the first was posted in any 24 hour period?

When does this number increase? After so many posts, or over time?

Thank you.

Same question from a month ago.

I'm having the same problem and am unable to send even one PM today.

Whom should I email to get this problem resolved?

I've received an email response from an administrator so help is no longer needed.

I am having the same issue - and clearly cannot even reach out to an administrator for assistance. Would appreciate insight into how to avoid this.

Thanks!

Regrettably - the same has happened to me! My conversation has been severely truncated :(

Certainly sorry if there is any inconvenience. As you may be unaware, FlyerTalk is under siege daily from spammers (a very unfortunate side effect of the Internet) as as such we have in place several different plans to limit their ability to immediately sign up an account and start to spam -- send unsolicited PM or email -- to our members, which many try to do. It is likely you were unknowingly caught up in one of those situations, though they would not impede on your ability to post normally on FlyerTalk.

If you like, even if you have problems accessing PM (private messaging) you can use the "Contact Us" form in the "Help" menu at the top of the page. That will get directly to us.

Hope this helps.
