I don't like not being able to send a private message to new members!
Grrrrrrr
All because someone sent pornography.
The inconvenience of not being able to communicate with new people by private message - in my opinion - outweighs any advantage of preventing someone from sending pornography when they first join.
I was told that new people could
receive private messages; they just can't send.
Well, I just tried to send and the option was not available. And even if it were, what good does it do if the person cannot respond?
