You could try tweaking up the min trust level setting and using a plugin I wrote a while ago.

> [@Kinder Guardian - let New members message Staff](https://meta.discourse.org/t/kinder-guardian-let-new-members-message-staff/45737):
>
> Without this plugin, New members can only contact Staff by email or by replying to their Welcome message This plugin allows them to message Staff from either the Staff members User Card, or the Staff members Profile page. It does not let them send messages to non-Staff members. display the Flag icon or it’s option to send a message from its modal. let them send messages from their own Profile page. let them send messages if the site has them disabled

I’ve been intending to put together a PR but haven’t been able to get very far with it so far. More a Real Life getting in the way thing than for any other reason.
