Are newbies not allowed to send private message?

[Birdy]

You need 1 post to do so. So you should be able to use PMs now.

[ProfitMaker24]

Yes, but have some restrictions.

[sifuhall]

I believe it is 1 post and additionally a 4 hour minimum wait.

I'm patiently waiting as well as I joined to join a group buy.

Hi

The NEWBIE README sticky says:

Newbie Restrictions
You can only post in the Newbie and Local sub-forums till you have made one post and waited 4 hours. This post must be substantial: at least several sentences. The other two restrictions are you need 1 post to be able to send a PM and 10 posts to put a link in your sig.

I was able to send a private message a few minutes after I joined and after I made one post. It's not true that you have to wait four hours.

[Nik1ab]

Can't you read the newbie readme before posting such things? lol

Thanks for the heads up, was wondering the same question.

I also can't PM it seems... Registered on the 5th of July and immediately made 1 post.

I see at the top that "Total time logged in: 1 hours and 32 minutes." - Maybe that should total to 4 hours before you are allowed to PM 

If I go into my profile and send a PM from there I get the following:

An Error Has Occurred!
You are not allowed to send personal messages.

This is my exact situation. And, I'm hoping this post here will remove that restriction.

I can understand the need to avoid bots and trolls... Could someone comment on this restriction?

It's a onerous restriction because I'm a noob so I'm really not sure how to contribute. Hopefully this small discussion on the restriction raises it.

Happy to be here!

No, you should be able to PM with one post and not 4 hours logged in, I don't even have that currently. Pretty sure I was able to when I tried with....maybe two posts. Try making a few more posts and see if it changes?

[Twoja Stara]

I believed I didn't have to wait 4 hours, was around 1 hour.

[bitte_ein_bit]

Hey fellow newbies!

Just registered myself after weeks of "silently stalking" the forum to finally post something myself.
Let's see if it'll be 4h or less after the initial post to contact the person I'd like to pm.  

I will edit the time it actually took in here afterwards. For science ofc.

EDIT: Total time logged in: 36 minutes. PM sent after 30 already! Mission accomplished.

[zoeme]

I believe it is one post and some low number of minutes

[basspaper]

I have 5 post and only 1 hour at the forum, i have receive pm, and answer, but do not know is it received by my opponent.
