If you’ve still not unlocked private messages, scroll to the top of this thread, and start scrolling s l o w l y through the posts. It counts as reading, and since it’s a big thread, it will unlock your messages in a jiffy. ---

Here are the official rules for getting bumped up a level so you can message: **Get to trust level 1 by…** \*\*\* Entering at least **5** topics\*\* \*\*\* Reading at least **30** posts\*\* \*\*\* Spend a total of **10** minutes reading posts\*\* By reading they just mean slowly scrolling by a post. So in short, it only takes about 10 minutes to get to the point where you can message, if you follow the instructions above. > [@How to Private Message in this forum](https://forum.bfddrums.com/t/how-to-private-message-in-this-forum/685): > > I thought I’d post this since a lot of people need to use Private Messaging to communicate with Drew and others.

This is set by the software (not BFD) to keep spammers out. It works pretty well. Here’s the whole explanation… ---

It’s a problem when to get rightly legitimate support I have to jump through a bunch of hoops to be able to message the individual who asks me (us) to message for rectifying issues. I need this fixed, look at my account and see how many products I have purchased- yet this is how I’m treated when I have to get my workflow moving again. ---

Yeah, I hear you. But the ‘jump through hoops to be able to message’ part is set by the Discourse software, not by InMusic or the BFD crew - they have no control over that. The requirements do have an upside in that it does a pretty good job of keeping spam out of the forum. Hope you get things resolved soon. ---

Yeah- I hate to admit you are right on this one- but I guess it does help keep spam down… [Previous page](https://forum.bfddrums.com/t/how-to-use-bfd2-content-in-bfd-3-4/82.md?page=4) [Next page](https://forum.bfddrums.com/t/how-to-use-bfd2-content-in-bfd-3-4/82.md?page=6)
