Hi Clark76
Theres a restriction in place, that won't let you
post PM's before you have done 10 or 15 posts.
Can't remember the exact number.
From your signature I can see that you're a member of
both ASAP and UNITE, and thought if there is anyone
in here you would like to get in touch with from the staff.
If so, I can leave a word in the closed member forums.
Regards Abydos

Hello Abydos,
I was just going to pm someone from the staff to let them know of a user who posted a HJT log in the wrong forum:

Thanks for the heads up on the pm rights

Hi again Clark
I saw that post also.
Already left a message for the mod's.
But thanks for notice.
If there is anything you want to know / hear about, just
say so, and I shall answer to the best of my knowledge.
Enjoy

What is the policy for when a user posts a Hijackthis log in the wrong forum. Are regular users allowed to give the user this link and suggest they post in the proper forum if the problem still persists or is the thread moved?
Reason I am asking is because of this thread

Clark76,
You are welcome to post anywhere but in the HJT forum. Posting a "hint" is no problem. I've left a message for the moderators about that HJT log in the wrong forum and I believe that someone will remove it. The Mod will probably also post an explanation why they edited the post, however feel free to post your warning.

After you read this topic you'll understand why new members can't use the pm system.

Also you should not have your password the same as your user name.

Thanks LDTate for that most informative and instructive link.
I had appreciated and understood the reasoning behind the disabling of PM's for new members, but must confess I was totally unaware of the scale of the problem and the sheer amount of work that could be created if one of the bad guys could exploit the situation.
Thanks again for the heads up.
