Change in PM accessibility

[Keith A]

Due to recent issue of a scams from new users contacting our members via PM's in response to WTB ads in the Classified Section, all NEW users will not have the ability to use the PM tool. They can't send or receive a PM until they have made 30 posts and been on the forum for 30 days.

All existing users who have access to the PM tool, were grandfathered in and did not lose this ability.

It is sad that we have had to resort to this restriction, but we need to do what we can to try and prevent any scammers on our forum.

Please let me know if you have any issues with your account, as the changes I made today affected most of our users.
