Sending pm to member with low post count.

[ratty]

Hello

I’m trying to pm a member with a low (6) post count. Is there a minimum amount of posts someone has to have before they can receive a pm?

Thanks very much

Hi Graham. Yes, I think it's 12 or 15 posts before a member can send or receive PMs. There's a post about it somewhere in the rules, in some section or other.

I think most phpBB settings would fall under policy management vs. a rule, per se.

Rules manage individual's behavior; settings are there to protect the broader community and server health.

For example, phpBB has a feature that allows you to put new posts in queue, where the post waits until it is approved or denied by a moderator.

The same is true for many policies that are best practices which can be set with permissions for myriad reasons - especially for new users who do not have enough posts.

Found it. Post #4 in this thread atop the New Members section.

OK, thanks very much.

Brian I'll try to think of a reason to pm you!
