Is there any way that you can contact other people from another site? Like is there a way you can get someones e-mail or contact info without being banned?
Once you've been here for two weeks and have made 50 posts, you can apply for full membership here. Once you are a full member, you can PM off-site contact info to other members. Just be careful about who you give it to . Until then, you cannot share any info.
How come private messaging is blocked until a full member or talking with staff, anyway? I also love that pic. I saw a Facebook page that has that as their image.
It's to protect the younger members, is it not? In theory, a predator would go for something more instant. Also, as members are 'reviewed' before they become full members, it allows a screening process to filter any unwanted predators and all that.
These forums are great, I love them! This is a good cyber connection to other people in similar situations. I understand the 2 week thing..like a sexual predator isn't gonna be an active member and such and spend that much time and effort.
Yep. That's right. We just want to make sure that people are here for the right reasons before we give them the privilege of PMing and using the chat room.
