a Greenlighter is a new member who has made fewer than 50 posts.
During this phase of your membership, your privileges will be restricted:
Greenlighters can Private Message (PM) anyone, but are limited to 1 PM every 3 hours. Use it wisely. Keep in mind that if you are caught abusing the PM function (trying to source, for example) there will be severe consequences.
Greenlighters are restricted to 5 stored PMs (that includes everything: inbox, sent, drafts, archives). You'll have to continually delete old messages to make room for new ones.
Greenlighters cannot attach files to messages.
Greenlighters cannot post in The Lounge.
Greenlighters cannot create a Blog or post in other people's Blogs.
Once you have made 50 posts, you will become a Bluelighter and you will be able to PM regularly, store 100 messages and post without restriction. Please note that it can sometimes take up to 24 hours for this change to take affect, so please be patient. Also, please don't create a new thread in the Support forum asking about this - come back tomorrow instead. It will almost certainly have happened overnight.
Hiya foojoo, welcome aboard!
