Effective immediately, users with less than a certain number of forum posts will NOT be able to send Private Messages.

If you receive spam over PM please Report it by clicking the http://ozhoopsboards.com/images/buttons/report.gifReport button. The penalty for sending PM Spam is a permanent ban.

IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN 5 POSTS AND DO NOT HAVE PRIVATE MESSAGE ACCESS, POST A MESSAGE IN "JUST TESTING". This should reset your post count and give you PM access.

Hey Derek.
Just taken back a bit with losing my inbox/PM privileges.
I was in the middle of corresponding with a few Ozhoopers and was about sharing copies of old school NBL tapes and now I seem to have lost all of my inbox.
I log on to Ozhoops on a fairly regular basis to see what is going on, but don't post a lot...I wouldn't want to make a whole load of unnecessary posts just to get my numbers up in order to access Personal Messages. Any chance of letting us know how many posts you need to be able to send/receive Personal messages?
Cheers.

Suffice it to say that with your number of posts you shouldn't have been affected. The requirement is 5.

(sigh) but thank you for letting me know, that needs to be fixed. If you have "member" under your name but cannot access PMs please post in this thread. (If you have "Newbie" under your name you do not yet have access to PMs.)

DO NOT REPORT SPAMMERS HERE, use the Report button for that.

If you got a PM from allogGeryagog or criciarties, these users have now been banned.
