- You have less than 5 posts, to avoid spam you need at least 5 posts to send PMs
- You are not logged into your forum account
- The board administrator has disabled private messaging for the whole forum

If it is the latter case you should try asking the administrator why.]]>
The email form feature of this board includes safeguards to try to track users who send such posts.

You should email the board administrator with a full copy of the email you received and it is very important this include the headers (these list details of the user that sent the email).

They can then take action.]]>
For now, though, if you keep receiving unwanted private messages from someone, inform the board administrator -- they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages at all.]]>
