Seems a bit unfair just because I don't comment on posts that I can't pm. I needed to pm someone to get a promotion code they are happy to provide.


    Why do you not just post for them to PM you?

    No idea what the algorithm is for being able to post but it exists for a reason.

    You need to be more active..voting on deals, commenting and so forth then you will be allowed to PM.

    There is and you aren't too far off it

    We don't publish the number simply because the commenting should be a natural use of the site. In the past some members had seen the number and just spammed discussions with nonsensical comments.

    Hi Jason, trying to unlock my account to send and receive private messages for a few weeks now, can you tell me if I'm close to getting it unlocked?

    You've posted no deals and this is the only comment you've posted, I think you need to make more posts before you can send a PM. (edited)

    "Seems like I can't message anyone on here anymore" - Could you message members previously?

    Also having trouble. Is it just comments that will allow you to then send messages?

    If we once had the ability to message, can we then lose that ability if we don't post or comment as often?
    Alexanderlocks's avatar
    I've not had that happen to me and I've had some times where I've taken a break from visiting the site & back & forth with no issues.
