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.
