Why the F..K Can't I trade? I gotta TALK more?!

I am Brand new to here and was super excited to begin trading and then this little beauty pops up when I try to message a trader: It tells me I can't message him because I just registered and that means I can't message him....... WHY THE F..K AM I EVEN HERE THEN?!?!?!? THE ENTIRE POINT OF REGISTERING IS TO TALK AND TRADE WITH PPL AND ENJOY THIS COMMUNITY! now you're telling me I have to post in the community in order to f..king make a trade? Your gate keeping trading so I can post in the f..king community?! What if I don't LIKE to post stuff? What if I did only come here to trade and play the game you f..king jerks!

You should be able to now. At least I think it should work now. Can you try again?

Newly registered users are initially placed in a user group with limited access (like forum threads/posts needing approvals), but once you've had a post approved on the regular forums (like now), you're placed in the regular user group and should have access to all features.

We were forced to implement this hard check for new users a couple of months ago when we were flooded by AI spam bots (for weeks straight) that were able to bypass all captchas and other checks.

I'm sorry for the inconvenice

Let me know if you still can't send private messages.

Did you try to send a private message to someone or did you try to post in a trade you are interested in?
The latter is the usual way to trade on diablo2.io.

Yes, posting in a trade topic should always work, even for newly registered users. And most traders will appreciate a post in the trade topic before exchanging direct messages, but it depends on the person, of course.

During the launch of warlock dlc, i believe this site experience massive bots(most likely bots) registered and started posting trades for warlock specific items only.

I can see why admin administered this rule…

Glad it was resolved for you. Your tone seems harsh for asking admin to resolve this minor trade restriction though, unless you repeatedly got ignore and this was ur many attempts and decided to fume off…

I met my best friend 35 years ago. The first time we ever met we got into a full blow fist fight. I got a Black eye, a bloody lip and he needed 16 stitches. Maybe some people still think that's how friends are made? Then again, we were only 5 years old.

The issue was resolved by ShadowHeart on D2.

Io Discord, and yes welcome to D2.

Io.

Thanks Everyone for the warm welcome, I wasn't aware this site got Bot attacked so Sorry for my frustration and rudness. Someone did help me and all is good now. Thanks for the warm welcomes.

Dont be. If someone does not read what it says in order to be able to post and contact people, its their issue. The rage coming from OP is pointless and self-created.

Never be sorry for what youve done to prevent the bots from this website. It was awful, this system works so much better.
These days people are so unbelievably stupid thanks to AI and what not, something like this confuses them easily.

Keep up the good work, this website is one of the best ones around.
