Yo, the buy/sell/trade forum is blowing up with replies from "salty."

Either this will result in spam from Kevin, or the poster simply wants to be able to PM people legitimately.

Once again, I vote to get rid of the "25 posts before PM" rule as spammers can get past it, it makes things difficult for newbies who need to PM someone and it causes BS replies and spam in forums while the person gets past the 25 post rule.


To salty: Sorry to call you out out if you are just a regular person wanting to send PMs.

And here I thought you were introducing us to a new line of sodium-enriched canned processed meat product.

And I was wondering why the scare quotes were there.

Just hit the exclamation mark on this person's posts and a moderator will delete them. I think it's been working very well, and I really couldn't care less if it inconveniences a few noobs.
