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

Some Examples of "Higher than Normal" usage:

• Creating 10 new conversations in 1 hour, with 10 different users who you have never been in contact with before.

• Creating 200 new conversations in 1 week.

There are different Time-tiers that affect different timeframes.

So, one may be able to initiate 5 conversations in one hour.

Yet they may not be able to initiate 120 (5 x 24) conversations in one day.
(Without VIP)
