Hoping you can please help

Having the exact same oscillating noise in x3m40i you described in a thread

What did it end up being?

Thank you!!!

[culdaraul]

well, I also don't have access to PM.

[duggie1200]

Me too… I was able to PM a vendor about ordering some gear for my car and all of a sudden it states that I don’t have access to PM anymore! I’ve already verified my account through email… what’s happening?

[nowthatsgreg]

Well I might as well post a post to maybe unlock PM at some point

I recently joined (even though I've lurked on here for years lol) but I got a banner on the top of the page that says you need to have a certain post count and be joined for at least 7 days, pretty typical forum setup to keep out scammers. I had the banner go away yesterday, probably because of post count and being on here long enough at this point

As a heads-up, every garbage post counts as -10 points when determining PM access.....

The seven day wait will pale in comparison to the jail time from being a software/maps pirate.....

Still in the process of trying to unlock?

This is not a forum for selling and buying or offering your stuff to members. It is a BMW enthusiasts forum that just happens to have a buy/sell section. It is set for for those who actually participate, not people who want to hit and run.

So participate

My account's been active for 2 weeks now. Any ideas how many posts do I need to activate the PM function?

Speaking of private messages. Good thing they update the PMs to allow 500 messages now. Almost every day I had to delete at least 5-10 messages to have room to receive PMs.

[ruskii]

Honestly what is the reason for this rule?

I think this a great forum for resources and classifieds.

I have made several purchases from other members on this forum, but now I cannot send PMs and it has lost potential transactions between forum members. I am trying to buy something now from a fellow member and we cannot contact each other to exchange payment info. Please help me understand how this rule is helpful/ productive?

This is the exactly the kind of rules that keep casual enthusiasts like me off forums like these. Like i said, great forum and user base, but these kind of rules arent exactly encouraging to new members. Just my opinion
.

BTW - from user experience, it would help future new forum members to inform them of this rule, whatever the minimum post count is.

Just trying to beat the posts count
