Help yourself by reading and following the rules laid out for new members in post#1 on this thread.
By following these protocols you will have your message system activated.

Dear sirs
Of course am not intending to send spam  i just would like to go to the country but as you know people are always hesitating in such a step. That is why I tried to send to more than one participant as i expected few may reply (people every where are busy and might not have the time to communicate).
And there might be a mutual benefit for me and the person  i contact there.
Thanks


The idea would be to go to the specific country forum and open a new thread there or read through posts there for the information.
That is a much better way to get a range of information from different people rather than one person's views.

Hi,

in order to ensure quality to our users, and to considerably reduce the number of spam sent by private messages, we decided to set up a few new rules.

But we'll start with a few explanations.

Our definition of spam ?
Unsolicited emails or private messages.

How we detect spam ?
90% of spam is sent by new users
90% of spam are "copy and paste messages"

Please, please...
Don't send the same message to several users without taking the time to explain us how we could help you on the forum.

If you are a new user and if you post more than 5 copy and paste messages, your private message system gets blocked.

Stop asking us to unlock your PM system
You can unblock your private message system by yourself. How can you do that ?

Please take the time to present yourself on the forum, to participate to a few discussions (with real answers), and your private message system will be unlocked. That's it !

I'm sorry, i was ignorant about the term and rule here.....

@ZYA

As this section of the forum is not the place to post your request on, I suggest that go onto the correct section of the forum and post there.

And you possibly have not learnt anything of the requirements / protocols of being a member.

You used cut and paste on your previous post. If you did understand that post, you would have known that cut and paste is not allowed on this forum.

Until you follow the rules regarding membership then you will never have your pm system activated. The last paragraph tells you not to ask to have your system unblocked.

It is of never ending surprise and annoyance to myself and other members as to how new members immediately complain when they cannot send messages to complete strangers, feign ignorance of where to post on the forum yet have sufficient grey matter to post complaints on this thread.  :dumbom::whistle:

You can start by reading, understanding and following the rules in the post you so nicely cut and pasted here (cut and paste is not allowed !!!)
You have to earn the right to have your pm system activated. This is not a forum which you can simply join then start sending out unwanted, unsolicited messages to total strangers.
Simple really !!

No explanation needed on behalf of the forum.
You very obviously have not taken the time to read and understand the rules regarding membership and the requirements to have your pm system activated. Try reading post #1and the many other posts here on this thread that explain it all.
Who would want to receive an unwanted message from a complete stranger ??  :dumbom:
Good luck. :whistle:

Hi ! My mistake pasting the similar messages in order to avoid typing too long. Sorry for that.

good description, thanks!

I was blocked, but I think it is not due to the copy/paste of messages! Has anyone faced with this problem?

You need to post on other sections of the forum to have your pm system activated. Posting here on this thread will not count towards having the system activated.
You have to posts a number of times. This is done to prove that you are a committed member of the forum.
No silly one line posts. All posts must be informative and topical. Nothing of a religious nature.

Read the many posts here on this thread that explain how things are run on this forum, especially post#1

I understand your policies, and was not aware of them. Wanted help from Indian expats in Oman, so filtered them and sent them what information I wanted. Anyway I have posted a forum post before sending the requests. See the following for reference :-

https://www.expat.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=759991

Request you to please unlock the PM. Thanks.


These posts were removed as advertising and contact details are not allowed on the open forums.
Perhaps I may request you read the posting guidelines before trying again.
Your advert in the correct section doesn't appear to be a problem, but your PM system can only be unblocked by you.

There are no step by step instructions.

You need to read, understand and follow the protocols laid out in post #1 on this thread along with the hundreds of other posts here that explain it all. Read through these posts.

You simply cannot join up and start sending out unwanted messages to complete strangers.
To prove that you are serious about becoming a contributing member you have to abide by these rules.

This is done to stop spammers and scammers from joining up and then overloading the system sending out unwanted unsolicited messages.

oooppps I got blocked!
anyway, Im eya a filipino looking to live in France to be with my boyfriend. Would go there on a tourist visa, but would have to make plans to be able to stay longer. I would like some information on how other expats did it. thanks!

Primadonna

Hi Eya, you'll be better off if you go to the French forum and ask your questions there.
You get better response than here.

eyaganda

Hey there,

Actually I would like to express my sincere liking of this idea. Such a great way to avoid spam.

Ok, so this Mohamed Tarek. I’m from Cairo Egypt 🇪🇬. Currently living in sheikh zayed such a calm and peaceful place in Cairo. I’m working as the initiatives leader in P&G. I like my job so far and looking for more challenges as usual.

It’s funny that I had to present myself in here and now everyone thinks I’m spam 😂.
Actually I never had to copy/paste messages until 2 days ago when I broke my right hand finger and my whole hand is in cast :( 😂😂😂 now that you know the reason and my left hand really hurts from typing I’ll have to stop writing 😂

Hopefully I’ll get better soon and new creative message will be all over this website.

Peace ✌️ everyone

You should inform people about your policies of sending messages first.
Then block.
What is wrong with you. We just want to communicate.

You are told when you agree to the Terms and Conditions of the site if you choose not to read them. You are the only one to blame.

To be able to communicate on this forum there are protocols laid out on the very first post on this thread.
It is up to you, as a new member, to read and understand these rules.

If you choose not to read the terms and conditions you agreed to when you joined up then you have no grounds on which to complain.

The key words in your post are ' I never had to cut and paste until 2 days ago'...... :dumbom:
Cut and paste is not allowed on this forum as scammers and trolls use this to send out unwanted unsolicited messages.

So, yes, you will have to stop writing and when your hand is well enough for you to start typing again, you can then write informative topical posts on other sections of the forum.
