Weird new user restrictions

Not really sure what category this belongs in, but can I get bumped up in class to be able to post more than three replies on a single topic, seems like a dumb restriction.

I also can't DM until I'm a higher trust level, including being unable to DM even mods/admins which seems odd.

Thanks.

It's a strong anti-spam protection. Very common on forum-type systems. I've changed your trust level to Basic User in advance of the forum auto-promoting you.

Yea I mean I run a few discourse servers myself so I get it, it was just weird I couldn't DM mods or self promote by verification and filling out profiles.

Thanks.
