Ok, So, I am banned from sending private messages until I make 10 posts. I admit, I'm a lurker and don't say too much. I am legit, and promise not to spam anyone :-)
I have done my due diligence and ventured to the FAQ's, which direct me to contact an administrator. Which I would do, if only I could send private messages...
So..can anyone help me out here please?

To whom do you want to send a message? Post what you need/want in this thread to let the receiver know...
Change the thread title to something like "Att: chris. Contact me."

Or you could reply to this thread 9 more times to get you to 10 posts. Why not? Won't hurt anyone.
This site had some issues with spam for awhile and that is why the PM post count was changed to 10.

I've noticed that I don't have the PM option as well.
I'm aware of the various reasons that there's restrictions as an initial newcomer, due to other posts read.
However I see this as a glutton for punishment overall.

Sorry about that. We've been inundated with spambots in the past and these safeguards were put in place to keep the boards clean and to keep spam out of all the members' inboxes. I just approved all of your posts pending moderation, so you should be good to go.

I'm trying to send a pm. Message won't leave the outbox. What's holding the message from sending? Thanks

Hey Admin, is there any way for me to have my PM's unlocked? I realize that I'm supposed to make ten posts before I can access them but I really don't want to spam the board with meaningless stuff just so I can access my messages. I realize that after the Ticketmaster fiasco, we're all deeply suspicious of bots, but I promise I'm a real, living person!
