    The post requirements are in place for a reason. Please do not make 10 meaningless posts just to PM.
    I am here to help if you have any issues with an affiliate program.

    If you absolutely need to pm a member and you are under the restriction, a moderator such as Anthony, Paolino or myself can forward the pm for you. (no restrictions in place to pm a moderator or GPWA administrator)

    If it deals with contacting an affiliate manager or another member and you need to send private information such as casino account info, banking info or other sensitive information you can easily create a post and ask for an email address.

    Same thing if you are trying to follow up with a link sale or link exchange offer, make a post asking for email, IM or skype contact info.

    If an affiliate program is not small affiliate friendly (especially small US Affiliate), then they are NOT Affiliate Friendly!

    It would also put your post count up in a legitimate fashion and get you closer to passing the restriction

    10 posts?! It's not as if it was 100 or a 1,000

    I get a lot of inbox spam at a certain other forum, I wish they had a restriction such as this. Also, I agree, that if you're geniune it won't matter to you, and ten posts is nothing at all
