uni Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 lol, more questions, about the 'Send an Email' on a member's profile. i get the not permitted message, this again related to member status and number of posts? also, if an email is not private on a profile, does that mean another member can see it, or the board sends your message to their email address? thanks.

Admin breeze Posted August 27, 2007 Admin Share Posted August 27, 2007 Uni, these limitations are there for several reasons, but the best explanation is that people who participate and contribute on a regular basis are rewarded with priviledges as their time on the board and number of posts increase. If you scroll on down the main page, there is a feedback forum for asking questions, people check "feedback" a lot to see if someone has questions. Our system automatically gives you privledges as you go along. You will notice them. re the email question - if your communications take place on the board, your info is protected. So, if someone sends you an email via the email link in your profile, you do not get their email address. If you answer them from your email account, you are giving out your email address. If you want your info kept private, only use the board email and private messaging. I'll post the canned message below this for everyone's benefit.

Admin breeze Posted August 27, 2007 Admin Share Posted August 27, 2007 Sorry for the inconvenience. If you are brand new to the forums, you will not have access to PM's. Look under your member name - if it says "newbies" your access to PM's and board email is restricted. The reason we do this is the overwhelming number of solicitations and scammers who come on the board. Some people are more naive than others, for one thing, and assume that everyone here wants to help them. There are scammers here just like everywhere else. We give these newbs some time to get their feet wet before they get exposed to those bad people behind the scenes, where we can't intervene. Unfortunately newbs with credit troubles are sitting ducks here, so we do what we can within reason to provide some protection at first. The other reason is to discourage the people who come here to sell something - A lot of them know they can't spam the board without getting caught, but they will spam via email or PM if they can. Once they realize they will have to participate for a while (we don't say how long), they go away and find some place that's easier to spam. I know it's inconvenient, but it makes the board a better place to be overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Gifted.inc Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I am here to soak up all the knowledge on the board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernStar Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I've been lurking for awhile now as I tend to be very cautious about forums. CB gets my seal of approval and I will be much more active from now on. I have been the BK7 route and have learned what not to do! Now I am here to learn how to be proactive and in control of my credit. Thanks for the great site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelnm Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hello, My "status" says member, but I still can't send PMs. Or at least, I got an error message when I tried to send one just a few minutes ago. Of course, I have been getting error messages when I try to post as well and have had to log out, clear my cache and log back in several times today. All the best, Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elyse449 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Wow, this was truly helpful! It's good to go over these things. I'm from another credit discussion board, however sometimes some things are a bit different from site to site. This is all self explanatory and easy to follow. Thanks!
