That one is from a copper member, IIRC Theymos said that gives them different privileges.
Yes, I had a question about this over a year ago and
started a thread on it. It isn't clear to everyone that Newbies who bought a copper membership don't have their PMs blocked--and I'm assuming that normally this isn't a big deal, since that copper membership kind of incentivizes you to NOT send out spam PMs because the risk of getting banned is fairly high.
Obviously sometimes it is a problem. I'd much prefer it if their PMs were blocked just like any other Newbie, but to me it's not a huge deal. I haven't had any Newbies PMing me since I made that thread.
You should report his post in this case, you don't need to use the f-word for that
Lol. This is TMAN we're talking about. The F word is probably a single key on his keyboard where the space bar should be.
