Are PMs Private Messages?

Hey, so, I'm trying to look for someone to RP with... scratch that. I think I have found someone who I'd like to ask to RP with me. I just don't really want to ask publicly because it’s my first time and I don’t really know how. It kinda seems embarrassing to ask publicly.

Anyways, I see PMs. I think; Ok, don’t know what those are. Then I go to the profile of who I want to RP with, and go to contact. I see Private Message, and click on that. Then I get the following message;

You haven't reached the post limit for sending private messages.

So, does anyone know how I do this PM thing... I assume PM is short for Private Message, feel free to yell at me in the replies if it’s not and I have no idea what I’m doing and this a big step up from a Minecraft Server... I'm new by the way

PMs are primate messages. In order to stop spam and people joining just to harass others, either forumotion or some setting on the site requires that members have a certain amount of posts, such as the one I've posted here, in order to send other members PMs. You can always join our discord, which is linked somewhere, idk, and DM people from there. I think most of the active users on the site use it and have the same username as they do on here, so it shouldn't be hard to find them.

So...

Does anyone know where that discord thing is? Can’t really find it... what would be really useful is knowing what the post limit is. That way I can post enough to Primate Message(?) instead of having to find this discord thing and Discord Message(?) so... anyone know what the limit is?

That, or can someone direct me to this discord thing so I can give it a try? Maybe?

Gotta say, am kinda confused right now. Guess what I’m supposed to do is do an open RP, maybe? That way people join if they want? It’d be a great way to start, except I really want to try to ask rather than it being left to random...

If anyone wants to RP with me, they’re welcome to. Preferably a kid character, if that’s okay. I just want to know what the “Post Limit” for PMs is, then I’ll get out of your collective hair. Except, you know, maybe not, cause I’ll be roleplaying, so you might see me around the site... :)

Edit: Nevermind, post limit is 5. Invitation is still open if your looking for someone, but if noooot... I'm off to go send someone a PM!

For later reference the link to the discord server is beneath the hotbar at the top of the site in the announcements bar.

I'll also link it here: Click Me!

You'll need to PM an administrator your discord name and number though in order to get approval to chat on the discord server c:

Admin Edit: Thread moved to 'Help and Feedback' as it's a request for help on PMs rather than roleplay.
