Staff Feedback:
There has always been a limit on the number of Private Messages a user can initiate within certain timeframes.
This is a necessary feature on pretty much any social network or communication enabled service.
It helps to reduce spam, harassment, and other unwanted behaviors from those who may abuse the private messaging feature.

Account Reputation, Account Age and other metrics (now also, VIP status), factor into the calculation of a user's active messaging quota.

The majority of users (95-99%) may never experiience such limitations.
It should only affect those who start New PM conversations at a higher than normal rate.
With this new rubbish thats just started. Sounds like we have to be a paid up member to message someone new. Very well watch sw cease to exist

Really? You can’t message someone you never had a message with before? That’s odd.

That’s not right. I mean you can’t message a new person without paying. @backporrch

This is the message I get
Carissimi · F
Oh, well you still can message. The site is probably busy, and can only handle so much messaging at a time. @backporrch

@Carissimi maybe. I’ve had times before where the messages didn’t go through and then did a few minutes later. This is different
LandOfOz · 61-69, M
@Carissimi wont be busy for long
Carissimi · F
Okay. It says you have to wait a bit, so how is it different? Oh, it came to me ... this time you can pay, and avoid the wait. I get it. They need our money. @backporrch

@Carissimi bingo!!!
Carissimi · F
Could be. I’m sure some won’t like it, and maybe not stick around. @LandOfOz
Carissimi · F
Yeah. Sometimes the answer comes to me after I’ve written the question. The light bulb goes on. @backporrch

@Carissimi lol I didn’t mean it like that. I’m sure you’re very sharp
Carissimi · F
It’s okay. Lol I’m getting old. It takes a few minutes for the neurons to fire up. 😉@backporrch
