Can't send private messages, help please.

Hi, I get an error that says, "You're not allowed to send messages."

Is there a reason for this, can I get this restriction removed from my account please?

You need to have a certain number of posts before you can send PMs.   In another thread a moderator did not know how many it was.  Later it was established to be 10.

A suggestion to the Admin and Mods: we need a FAQ somewhere that covers all these questions.  It should be linked on each page just as the Rules are.

That's a good suggestion.
