So the complaint actually is that no one will PM back to you.

Probibly a dumb question but kind of new to the forums.

You don't have pms yet so you can't PM anyone. PMs are activated with regular posting.

Once they are activated click on a posters screen name on the left of the screen with your left mouse button and then select 'send pm'. Alternatively there will be the pm inbox option on the top right of your screen just below where it says 'Welcome, Pop.'

Knivesout is kidding you.

It's difficult to tell on 2p2 who is being serious and who is just joking around.

Quote:
To prevent spam we require that new members participate in the community before private messaging is activated. Normal use of the forums will automatically enable this feature.

While we don't disclose the exact requirements, they are easy to meet. We have no wish to limit those new to 2+2 who are only looking to be a part of the community.

If you wish to contact a moderator or the administration before your PM box is enabled, use posts or the contact page.

Hopefully not too long bc I need to get money off a site. I'm not a scammer, just an American in this weird time of online poker in the U.S.

Hi,

I cannot find how to send PM... I may be wrong but I think that I do not have the permission to send PM to other 2+2 members at the moment. How could I get it?

Thank you for your help!

Hi,

Thank you for your answer, even if it doesn't sound very friendly ^^

You're right I don't know the "standard practices", but I used the search box to find more information on my issue and I didnt find anything.

I don't post a lot but I have been on this forum for a few months so I thought it was ok to ask for PM...

In fact I would like to send a PM to get a good rakeback deal. Im not a spammer nor a scammer (I don't even know what a scammer is ).

Im gonna have a look to the second page of the forum to see if I find the answer!
