Hi @anon48433008 Did you check personal message enabled groups in your site settings? [image] By default, new users (trust_level_0) are not allowed to send private messages.

I can confirm everything works as expected as soon as the user is tl1. [image]

I struggled with PM rights TL0 vs. TL1 when a staged user (because of email support) created account and couldn’t read PMs. I solved this bypassing TL0 and starting with TL1 right away — I don’t have spam issues or controversial topics so I could do it. So AFAIK that isn’t a bug, but by design. And…

[image] Robert: how this is a good thing Well, it isn’t if 24 hour long time of limited rights is really needed. As I said I don’t have or had any issues because of that. Your situation may be different. But I don’t let users be better that TL2 either, because I don’t see any points for those…

I added TL0 the right to PM for now, that’s what you meant correct? With encrypted PM’s enabled I wouldn’t know if anyone is abusing unless reported anyhow, honestly I could see some people needing to perhaps warm-up with pm’s to other members before posting publicly.

[image] Robert: TL0 the right to PM for now But it isn’t working first 24 hours, or am I wrong?

Why not? The only settings I can think of that affect the user within the first 24 hours after posting are max topics in first day and max replies in first day, and those are bypassed at trust level 2, so tl1 would not change anything.

Yeah, that’s true. I might remember totally wrong first day limitations.

The first trust tier doesn’t require new members make public posts, is just: Get to trust level 1 by… Entering at least 5 topics Reading at least 30 posts Spend a total of 10 minutes reading posts
