Hello. I'm Acatalepsy. I'm here to buy a map, and I need to post things before you'll let me send messages. I really like Eclipse Phase, as you can pretty easily see by the part where I'm willing to spend money to get custom maps made for it. My advertisement is here.

...I am not sure why new users can't receive private messages. Sending them I understand, but receiving them? Wouldn't it make more sense to have a rule that you couldn't send PMs until you had a certain number of posts, or someone sent you a PM first? That makes the most sense to me.
