Please can you enable PMs for me? (I'm a newbie). Have posted interested on a bike for sale (posts not yet approved) and I cant PM the seller as also not approved yet.
Many thanks!

Sometimes more, and sometimes the person is still lurking and posting when I approve them. However, it can take a day or so depending on if I'm on or one of the others ............ or nobody's on.
There are many folk who come on trying to get round all this. People who have a "spam intention". They get short shrift I can assure you!

Some prospective spammers come on with an innocuous post or a comment on a thread. It would get approved because it was fine. Once on, they are free to advertise their wares in the knowledge that they're up and running.Username wrote:How can you get round something thats set in stone? The first post needs approval, there no getting round that. Are you saying people are trying to glitch or hack the forum?
