It appears I need permission turned on to be able to send private messages via the conversation function. Can a mod turn that on for me please?
 
Brand new users cannot send PMs- you will gain that ability automatically after a few posts.
 
I'm trying to understand who on this board wants to receive a PM from some rando non-contributor with 3 posts in as many years. I feel like the forum "protections" are working, but there is probably some edge case I am not thinking about.

Someone with something to buy/sell, maybe? :dunno:
 
Exactly -- I'm in the same boat. Newish / infrequent contributor, and there's a buy / sell post from that I'd really like to reply to. Guess I'll just find places to add my $0.02 (like here...).
 
I don’t want to go around making nonsense post just so I can send a PM. I guess I’ll have to, so here’s one

Can't you make a sensible response to an existing thread? Or perhaps ask a serious question? Or even just make an introductory post and describe yourself and/or your plane.
I'm sure you have something to offer that isn't nonsense.
You don't want to be another eman; do you?

Hello all, not a frequent user either, trying to reach out to a few people here and reply to an occasional for sale post, so starting my "post journey" here. Hope everyone has a great 2026. Cheers.

There's a thread for just that purpose: Next word that comes to mind... You can reply to your own posts and make a little game out of it, like this--

Voila! Six posts just like that.
 
Like a treasure map for scammers to unlock the golden fountain of redline sidewinder and used garmin 750 scams. Plus in this case, I suspect a plaintiff's attorney to do some ambulance chasing. Greaaaat.
 
Strenuously express your political views in unrelated threads on the Flight Following forum. After 5 or 10 posts, the mods will see you are a serious person and unlock your full privileges.

Same, based on your profile, I'm guess the magic number is 15 because it sure as heck isn't 12.
