Silly requirement. Probably could have found a better way to make sure a user was not sending spam.
@Lookingforinfo19, we welcome any suggestions. You might think differently if you had to act on users’ reports.
PMs really are private, so we can’t deduce spam from a PM’s content. It turns out that PM spammers are not new members with legitimate questions, nor long-time contributing members. PM spammers want to join and immediately send spam PMs. So how to stop them? We’ve tried for years to find a good way.
Hello! Does anyone knows how to pm someone after having 15 posts?
@gincesu have you tried logging out and back in again? That should do the trick.
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
You need 15 substantive posts.
In this case, it won’t. As stated earlier in this thread:
http://talk.qa.collegeconfidential.com/discussion/comment/21548241/#Comment_21548241
I’ll also once again point out that sending unsolicited PMs violates Terms of Service, so there should be no rush to reach 15 posts; most questions are better answered on the public forum. A user with less than 15 posts, though, is able to respond to a user that PMs him/her.
oh okay i see, thanks for the information
@CCadmin_Sorin I’ve been looking through these PM threads because I need to contact an admin about changing my Username due to privacy concerns. Can you help with this?

Okay thanks.
@skieurope could you please pm me? I have a concern regarding a separate account and I am unable to pm you since I am not a junior member yet
OK
Thank you. Now know how to private message another user.
I was having trouble pm now I understandb15 post needed!
MODERATOR’S NOTE: Please remember that you need 15 SUBSTANTIVE posts in order to send a PM. “Great post!” repeated over and over does not count. Those types of posts will be deleted.
Thanks for the information.
This is helpful. Thanks!
I see how this works now lol
I have 16 posts but I still can’t PM anyone?
@hopefully21, try logging out and then back in.
