I wanted to know:

When you have the PM ability, especially as a new person here, the wolves in sheep's clothing will all "try to help you."

They all have a killer source.

We have seen this so many times. Even three high ranking members were tossed for sneaking in sites to members that we have not approved. (Everyone will feel like Dog Meat if u decide to go with a site on our forum, and, u get scammed. Real friends will only share with you the tried, true and trusted sites.)

Further, I get many PMs a day. Quite a few. If all the new people could PM me, as I used to allow, I shall be inundated by How To Requests, which all one needs to do is read, read and read some more and find their own answer.

We don't want so called hidden vendors Pming you members. Or, you members PMing other new members.

We only allow certain IOPs and emails and SY vendors. Because we have so much feedback on them.

I, for one, don't want to see that u PM'd someone sleazy and are now out a couple hundred dollars.

Ice is right. Through the usage of achieving fifty posts before you can PM, we, the forum, get to know you, somewhat.

We are more likely to share. To help.

You can do fifty. I have faith in you.
