This is noted. I apologize for that. I hope I'll be able to send private message soon. Rest assured that this will be taken seriously and will not send "copy/paste" messages again. Thank you.

Your message system is not blocked.

It needs to be activated.
To activate it you first need to read and understand the very first post on this forum.
There is a process you have to follow to activate your message system. This forum is not a message board where you simply join up and then immediately send out unwanted or unsolicited messages.

Follow the rules and you are on your way to becoming a contributing member of the forum.

There is no way your message system will be activated until you follow the rules laid out in post #1 on this thread.
You have to earn the right to have the system activated.

Simply joining up does not mean you have instant access to the system.

Hi, yes, I understand, but I don't believe people use it only as spam. I was just introducing myself to possible contacts who need help to come to Brazil, that's why I was copying/pasting, I was just introducing myself and offering help to people looking for it. One of the main goals of this site... Ok, next time I will write down new messages everytime I introduce myself to someone, it will just take me too much of my time, but if these are the rules then we will follow.

Can I get this right??

You wanted to send PM's to people you have never met, spoken to, yet you wanted to spam their personal mailboxes without them asking you? THAT IS CALLED SPAMMING

This is your very first post on the site, you have not even taken the time to introduce yourself to the platform. Once you have done that and taken heed to the very first post on this thread you might want to come back and say sorry.

How did you know they need help,  and in particular your help?
Yes, this site is based on mutual help by sharing the knowledge and experiences.
Not  in private but on the forum of the country of your choice or interest.
You then not only reach the people who are looking for that information but other expats to be as well. Sending the information in private is only for those selected members and not for members in general.
All you have to do is introduce yourself once on the forum , answer their questions and people start replying.
It's so simple...

Please read the very first post in this thread. Only you can unblock the system. You need to participate in the forums. No one else can unblock it. Once you have done that your PM system will be activated.

4 posts are not enough, and any posts on here do not count, so you have only made 2 posts. You have to earn the privilege to send PM#s on this site. The more you post on the forum the more PM's can be sent.

To unblock you need to have some conversations here and there and it will be opened back up. They do it to keep spammers from invading the system and to support the site for regular communication. Happy to chat some to help...

Why you cannot send is simply due to the fact that you have not read and understand post #1 on this thread.
Do so and you will then understand how you get your message system activated.
You have to earn the right to have it activated.
