Banned for sending messages
I just started using BP a few days ago to network with other investors and enjoyed my experience until I was banned from messaging.. I sent messages to other users, but abided by the policy regarding messaging.
I would like to eventually go PRO but I was banned only a few days after starting to use the site. How do you expect people to want to pay for the service if they are being banned almost instantly? Is this a way to force people to subscribe to a pro membership?
