Yet another who has not taken the time to read and understand the terms and conditions of membership when he joined up.

There is not such thing as having to unlock your pm system.

There are protocols you have to follow to activate your pm system.

Read, understand, and follow what is written in post #1 on this thread along with the other hundreds of posts here that explain it all again and again to those new members who think this is some sort of message board or blog site which you join and then immediately start sending out unwanted messages to complete strangers.

You have to earn the right to have your system activated.

If you follow these rules then you are on your way to becoming a contributing member of this forum.

I have not sent any emails in 2 years and would like my email to be unblocked. I recently moved to China and am trying to make connections.

Thank you!

Then follow the rules outlined in the very first post on this thread? It's only you that can unblock the PM system. You say you are trying to make contacts? You have failed to even introduce yourself. Thats a start why not give it a go?

2 posts in 3 years  :unsure

To have your pm system activated you have to be a contributing member by posting on other sections of the forum. The posts need to be informative and topical.
After a certain number of posts you system will be activated.
The more times you post the larger the capacity of your inbox becomes

As a new member I trust that you have taken the time to read and understand the rules regarding membership. If not then go to post #1 on this thread and read them.

You need to do this in order to have your pm system activated.
Informative posts on other sections of the forum.
This will show that your are a serious contributing member.

Posting here on this thread will not count towards having your system activated.

You need to post more on the Forum, 3 posts are not enough. the posts have to be meaningful and not one worded, also posts on this thread do not count.

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 !

Back from where?

If you mean how to activate your PM system, you have to post on the Open Forum. Posts on this thread mean nothing and will not open your PM system. You have to post and reply with meaningful comments. One worded comments will also do nothing.

It's not fair.
I don't like this kind of nonsense rules.
Please change it.
If someone sends messages that are not good or have something bothering so people can Spam or complain to you.
By the way it's your call, if you don't wanna change or accept other peoples ideas we can do nothing.

Also release me please, I have to send messages.

elysian

please clarify what should i do for unblock service in simple words

Post comments in the Forum, but not on the post as it will not open your PM system.

Follow the instructions in the very first post.

Let me get this right - you join a group, want the rules to change to suit you, but  are clueless as to the reasons for those rules.

Thanks for your input, but not a hope.

We will now get on with trying to rid the forum of the latest lot of porn perverts trying to chat up lady members by spamming the PM system with filth, but you haven't got a clue about that, have you?
The automatic system blocks them but they still have to be weeded out in case they post on the open forums as well so better to ban them as soon as we find out the pointless perverts are around.
The anti spam system minimises them, general scammers, loads of people trying to get girls to go to bars, fantastic business offers, and other assorted rubbish.

Do you still think the rules are unfair?

What you are asking for will never happen.
And yes it is a call made by the administrators of this forum. Rules are laid out to ensure that spammers are quickly discovered and dealt with.

You have to earn the right to have your message system activated.

Until you take the time to read, understand and follow the rules laid out in post #1 on this thread and the hundreds of others here explaining the process.  then your system will not be activated.

This forum is not a message board. It is a forum for members to exchange ideas and information.

If this does not suit you then go to the bottom of this page, click on 'contact us' and ask to have your account deleted.

If you post informative and topical posts on other sections of the forum, your message system will be activated after a time.
The rules and protocols are explained on post #1 on this thread along with hundreds of others here too.

New to the site and didn't know this was a problem at all.

I am here with a friend, and we are looking for an apartment!

I thought since demand and competition is probably quite high, I should try and set up as many viewings as possible!

And since the message you tend to send to arrange a viewing for a house that somebody has advertised is generally quite similar, I didn't think sending the same message to multiple people advertising apartments would be a problem!

But I understand the rules now, so apologies for that!

Any advice on the best way to secure a 2 bedroom apartment in somewhere around the BKK areas in Phnom Penh?

Looking to move in ASAP and can pay deposit, months rent etc.

Any advice would be very welcome!

Cheers,

Adam.

Your system is not blocked.

I do take umbrage at new members who join and immediately start complaining. Such people have no intention of becoming a welcome, contributing member

Obviously you have not taken the time to read, understand and follow the rules laid out in post #1 on this thread.
When you joined the forum You did not read the terms and conditions of membership.

This forum is not a message board where you join and then immediately start sending out unwanted messages to complete stranger.
You have to prove to the forum that you are a contributing member of the forum by writing informative posts on other sections of the forum.

There are many posts on this thread that also explain how to activate your system.

This is done to stop spammers and scammers.
The more times you post the larger the capacity of your inbox becomes.
Posting on this thread does not count towards having your system activated.

So the ball is in your court.

No one can help you.

Unless you you have taken the time to read and understand the rules and protocols of membership then you are destined never to be able to send messages.
