Since this forum is Discourse, I suspect that people can’t send private messages from the very start when they join. They are given the rights to it upon passing through some hoops.

Posting some of their own.
So, read one or two threads and post in some others and it will eventually unlock.

This was of course because I failed to see that it had come from / via…noreply@forum.bfddrums.com
