No, because you have not yet posted enough times on other sections of the forum to have your system activated. You have to earn the right to have it activated. Read the forum rules.

Your system has not been activated and will not be activated until you post a number of times on other sections of the forum with meaningful, informative posts.

You still have not read the rules, if you had you would know its pointless in asking to be unblocked. Posting the same message here is also pointless.

Well, you know how your supposed company moved to the SMX mail scrubbing service, it's about the same. Question is, does Jason know what you're up to with the company name?

The idea of this site is to post questions in the forum, it reaches more people. It's not a site for you spam people with unwanted messages. This is why your PM system is now locked.

Not until you read, understand and follow the forum rules.
Apologies for this mistake. It’s a very sensible policy and I totally understand the concept. Apologies, again.Moving in April and wanting to make new friends.

The anti spam system blocks out such things after a few messages are sent. You have to understand the recipients might not want to receive such messages and, as they have no idea who you are, could very well assume you're a scammer of some sort.
Sadly, expats are seen as easy and fruitful targets so that's not an unreasonable assumption.
Participating on the open forums, as you have started to do, will solve your problem.

Apologize for sending same message too many times to individuals to know about the country I was planning to go. Its being quite long and really appreciate if you can unblock the messages.
Thank you, for the information about spam messages, im looking forward to my private messaging being unblocked. Thank you

Don't worry. I guess everyone is filling this forum bevause their text messages are locked out.. pity
waseemsh2005 wrote:I do not agree!
Check Internations.. that is much much better that expat.. there are no such restrictions to contact anyone via messages or add requests..
Your (expat.com's) whole game is to reserve users to FORUM only.. there is no concept of spam actually. Do you can text messages as SPAM?!! Lol
I send hundreds of messages, but I've earned the privilege by, hopefully, being a useful member of the forum.
