New users to these forums have restricted permissions to foil profile/PM spammers. These restrictions are automatically lifted after you reach a threshold level which makes us pretty sure you're a real user, not a spammer.
Edited to add: This is a good reason not to rely solely on PMs for this sort of thing, BTW. Shadekeep, do you have an alternate contact method for the new posters?
