Contacting Members by PMs and Emails

[Joshua Dorkin]

Hello Everyone -
Over the past few weeks I have gotten a few complaints about people SPAMMING forum members through both PMs and email in particular. As a result, we have implemented several policies.

1 - Members will not have access to the PM system until they have reached 10 posts on the forum. This will ensure that people who register on the site with the whole intention of SPAMMING through PMs will be dissuaded.

2 - Members will not have access to email one another through the forum. This policy may change in the future, but for now, it will stand. If a member needs to email another member, then they can make contact by PM first and then exchange email addresses. This will ensure that no other member will have the ability to send you unsolicited emails thanks to BiggerPockets.

I realize that these policies may inconvenience some of you, but they do serve the greater good to protect the members of the site.

Thanks for your understanding.

Regards,
