Private messaging Disabled criterias

G31530D · 02-13-2025, 01:48 AM

Hi all,
What are the criterias for being able to use the PM?
What is a "certain number" of posts?

"Thank you for verifying your account!

I believe that you have confused bimmerpost with mhhauto.com, which is where all of the stuff that you have been seeking via PM since last October probably came from.....

no, he's actually right, because a new registered user needs a certain number of post replies to be able to receive private messages, i believe u need to have more than 10 post replies to unlock them

chowser51 · 02-19-2025, 08:29 PM

it's to vet out new users that come here to scam or try to get free stuff.

you get pms whenever they decide you get pms.

This is an enthusiast forum that happens to have a buy/sell section. It is not a buy/sell page. If you plan on actually participating and making contributions, welcome. If you are just here to PM people about buying/selling, this place isn't for you.

How / when do you start getting message in Inbox?

I had to open another account since I couldn’t find the password reset link 😫

carlover24 · 03-31-2025, 12:13 PM

Hi folks when will private messaging be enabled?

This green message might be a bit misleading if only experienced users determine whether you can receive private messages.

I’m looking to message someone who has their vehicle for sale, could I get verified?

Thanks chowser51, is adding your personal email address to a thread allowed, prior to getting PM enabled?

I like to read more than post but I guess you need to be a poster to get verified so maybe this post counts as one

vasile.sculea · 07-22-2025, 08:14 AM

Anyone know what the number is?

FWIW, the reason there’s not a fixed number of posts is because you need to make posts that are seen by and verified-as-not-spam by several existing users. Sometimes that takes just a few, sometimes more.

Existing verified users see a dialog next to new user’s posts asking them to do this. So enough users need to say ‘yep, not a bot or spammer’.
