Topic: New Member, Unable To Sent Private Messages

[Some Guy]

Apologies if this has been done before, but can't find anything.

Long time reader, recently joined up for the first time. Still not allowed to post private messages, can anyone help?

Thanks.

[Chakan]

You need a minimum of 15 or 50 posts, one or the other.

[Some Guy]

Great, thanks for the quick response, much appreciated.

[Barneylfc∗]

It's 15

[Claire.]

Some mods might bump up your post count but I'd much rather people made a contribution first.

Signing up just to use the exchange?

Has that been annoying you all this time

Could someone explain the restrictions for new users if possible?

Should a new user have issues posting on threads outside of the main Liverpool forum?

Can't start threads until they have a minimum of 50 posts?

Asking for a mate, thanks in advance.

Why can't I start new topics in the LFC forum?

New members can't start topics in the LFC forum until they've made 50 posts. The restriction was introduced to allow new members to get an idea of the site before they start their own topics. We don't want the site to go the way of .tv's old forums where there'd be 4 or 5 pages of new topics each day with many of dubious quality. Hopefully once a user has made it to 50 posts they've a grasp of the guidelines, what works and what doesn't.

It's unfortunate that the restriction can only be applied universally. However should you wish to start a topic then you can mail it to one of us and we'll do it for you.

Why can't I send Personal Messages?

You need to have made 15 posts before you can send Personal Messages to others.

Should be able to post anywhere on the forum though

Cheers Barney. For some reason he can't post outside of the Liverpool forum.

[Lenny88]

Sorted now, nice one!

just needed to get 15 posts under my belt.

[Samie]

Registration is open again I take it?

Is it just me or are he newbies who've joined in the last year or so have been lads on a windup generally?

15 or more posts are required before they're able to see and post on other boards outside of the main Liverpool one.

You sure? I've seen people post and start new threads previously with single digit posts.

The rules are not immutable. Things possible in the past may no longer be allowed.

We had an influx of people interested in the political boards with little regard for the club, so we decided to make them earn the right to post.
