I'm trying to get to 25 posts so I can use the p.m. feature. I don't have a good reason to use it right now, but I figure I might want to use it in the future, hence the posts now.

Trying to reach 25 posts. . . .

You must have written a minimum of 25 posts
before you can initiate contact with other members
by email or private message (PM). Sorry!

It's impossible to be more of a loser than you are.

Why does one even need the PM feature? There are very few people here I seek to contact privately. In fact, I find the PM feature more of a bother, getting stupid questions from other users and weird homoerotic messages from Christians too afraid to come out of the closet.

I'm fine with the 25-post minimum. The problem is, though, that it does encourage wonderful personalities like the OP to spam the forums with useless threads in order to reach 25. Once they hit 25 then they can PM other users with pressing questions like "How's Korea?" "Should I go to Korea or Japan?" "Are there any restaurants in Bundang?" and the like.

I send and receive PMs once in a while, and in most cases it's to offer information that is already on the forums. There are lots of cases, however, when I wish people would use the PM function more, especially when threads turn into childish, off topic bickering between two professional backpackers.

Under the new rule, people like Mr. Gesler will only fill up threads with meaningless posts, then start PMing. It's just going to take the BS in our PM inbox and but more BS from threads on top of that for us to deal with. Sparkling.

I also lost my pm capability. I mostly just used it when buying stuff from the buy sell trade forum.

Don't really want to start a new thread when I can just look up information that's been covered many times. But have to get to 25 posts so...

[FistFace]

I haven't had such spam since the 25 post count started.

It used to be worse.
A few years ago, they posted the number of messages under the contributor's name.
Among the most prolific posters, there was a big race to see who could be first to reach 1000.
There was even a poll asking who we thought would earn that distinction.

If I recall correctly, The Great Wall of Whiner was the champion.

Kudos to the moderators for enforcing this rule.

I don't trust this 220v Dragon character.
