I knew there was a limit.
but 10? is that per day or per month?

I hit that limit chasing down enough bodies to get Trivia Geek on the spot about the open source TR. ]:)

Happened to me once .... I was trying to chase down people for the Impure Brigade (a noble cause :p)

never asked me to be a member of it? :(

in case you haven't noticed, I get more impure discussions started without trying than most do even trying. ;)

by stargazerr

at that time .... I had started posting quite recently. Brilliant way to make a start on a tech forum :D

Don't get it, why a limit on peer contacts?
Thought it was attracting as much Techies as possible.

If sending a mail gives the home email-addresses!
It will be sending peers off TR.
Can't imagine that is the purpose of the limit/TR.

there is the ocassional person who thinks they can spam people from here using the peer contact feature.

TR is really good at stopping them.

how many peer contact messages do we need in a day?
I actually rarely send one.
so when I got hit with the limit of 10 I was suprised.

by jaqui

ten per day, that's what I didn't know. :)

I knew why the limit was put in place, I've been the recipient of some of those spammers efforts. :D

Do you want to get spammed? Have you ever had the need to send more than ten peer mails in a day?

P.S. mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.............mmmm :^O

this is something WE even ASKED for!

Careful what you ask for, you just may get it? :D

by rob mekel

to hit that link? Well, got in?? I don't, grrrrrr ]:)
(that is forumID 95 / TRI)

Well it keeps up appearing on my "Posts from my Contacts" and not letting in. That?s annoying. :(

But then again I'm an annoying guy. :D:D

Rob, it's hard for me to decipher any of your posts. I thought you were talking about the limit on peer mails. I guess you're not a TR Insider yet. You need to rant and rave like starrrrrgazerrrr did and eventually the TR staff will let you in.

by jdclyde

TR gives me a call and ask if I think someone should be included or not. I then give them the thumbs up or down! B-)

:D

by rob mekel

Do see after re-reading what you mean.

Keep in mind that with smily's the fun kicks in, hahaha, or sooner :D:D

Not alway's appropriate

Mr. Spy ... How did you know that I edited it?

I was trying out a couple of things ... you know ... Practice ... :D

by m_a_r_k

It moved to the top of my "Posts from Contacts" list. Sorry... I was just curious. :|

:D

by old guy

It also puts a sentence in the post "Post edited (with date) after you edit a post. Does that make sense? ?:|

by stargazerr

I did wonder why posts from my contacts kept jumping the list ..... Thanks Mark ... I was actually trying out something new I had learnt today :D

by stargazerr

... glad you added a smiley face ... :| makes you look like someone just kicked you in the stomach :D

by rob mekel

there has to be done much pleaing, flattering, etc to get in then. :( :D:D

Not my style though. :D
So the 2 of you can wait a longtime to see that happen. :D:D

Rob

grumblegrumble, why won't they let me in, don't do nothin wrong, try to please them where i can, give them nice polite answers (even courteous they are, well @ least sometimes :D:D), kick some a$$ for them, never argue with them, giving way alllll the time. grumblegrumble
