Angry Sorry But this SUCKS !!!

I have already registered myself with this site...but what is most F***ing is that whenever I try to send someone private message it shows somethings like following

Firstly, why if you know you are posting in the wrong place are you posting here? Next time post this kind of hing in the Lounge, or the Outhouse....(And even if you had posted in the right place use a proper title, :P) And the reason you cannot send PMs yet is because you have to have made 10 posts to be able to send PMs, its to stop people signing up just to spam PMs.

Read the FAQS..you can't send PMs until either your posst count is above 100 or you have been here for 90 days - or something like that.

Posts like this are not appreciated round here. It was pretty rude and if you had bothered to read the FAQS and T&Cs before posting, then you woudn't have had this problem.

General forum behaviour is to search before posting a question anyway, again solution would have been found without writing such a twat-like message.

Just to clarify: It is 10 posts, I'll even link to another thread, yay: Why can't I PM anyone?

[EDIT]: Link to an actual FAQ thread mentioning it, well post anyway: http://forums.devshed.com/showpost....436&postcount=8
Last edited by kuza55 : November 30th, 2005 at 03:26 PM. Reason: Edited for clarity; yes cybersaga, it was a typo, I meant 10 posts, not 10 days....

Wait I am confused about something, does the sig only show up the first time the user posts on the thread? Then after that it doesn't? Am I seeing this right? Also, I just now noticed it doing that. Man I am just a quick one today!

With his first post being a complaint about how he can't send PM's, how much you wanna bet he came here for the sole purpose of sending spam PM's?

The rule's working well.....
Comments on this post
crownjewel82 agrees: I saw that too. I'll bet he's already moved on to his next forum to spam.
carrie_a_tune agrees: Yep, I thought the same.
