(answered) PM's to moderators

[Apprentice]

Hi

A moderator of one of the forums has been very helpful and suggested I send private messages to him regarding certain subjects. I've done this today, and he has responded asking for details not about a source, but a particular brand and I have found I cannot respond to his question for three hours. When I become a bluelighter I know this will not be a problem, but it seems only to be motivation to start a posting spree purely to get my count up to fifty rather than having anything meaningful to say.

Happy to wait the three hours, but just concerned that I may give the impression that I am ignoring the question. Cheers guys. Great site.

anybody who's here to participate in the community will have no trouble getting to 50 posts with constructive, meaningful posts. it might take a couple of days. it might take a couple of weeks.

the 50-post rule is a great deterrent to trolls, spammers and trouble-makers and the benefit of that, in our opinion, outweighs the cost of a minor inconvenience to members likely to stay and contribute to bluelight.

thanks for the feedback and welcome to bluelight.
