    Post Count

    This seems to be turning into an annoying problem... The whole waiting so long and having so many posts before someone can receive PMs... I personally think we should remove this... It would make life so much easier... Anyone else?

    That is in place to protect the community and it won't be removed while there are still spammers and scammers on the internet.

    It's what they do best, and if you're good at something, you just keep on doing it?

    I have to wonder why you would be in such a hurry to contact a new member?

    Nick H, try not to be such a pessimist... New users seeking to hire someone generally do not wish to fight with this security feature...

    Not trying to be a pessimist. I was just kidding. Geez.

    But still...if they are hiring, they should list an email.

    Indeed, this is one reason the rule is in place. Often they won't post anything to connect them to previous usernames, so they think they slide under the mod radar. If they wish to hire, then they should be open and honest within the post.

    I don't see why new users should come here to find a job anyway. Sure people can come find for a job here but the least they can do is to contribute to the community in return. And while they're at it, they can show their potential employer what kind of knowledge he/she has to offer by making some quality posts.

    Apoc, I was referring to those who are hiring... Not those who are looking for work, that would be me...
