I believe it is one post and some low number of minutes
Hey fellow newbies!
Just registered myself after weeks of "silently stalking" the forum to finally post something myself.
Let's see if it'll be 4h or less after the initial post to contact the person I'd like to pm.
I will edit the time it actually took in here afterwards. For science ofc.
EDIT: Total time logged in: 36 minutes. PM sent after 30 already! Mission accomplished.

I believed I didn't have to wait 4 hours, was around 1 hour.
I also can't PM it seems... Registered on the 5th of July and immediately made 1 post.
I see at the top that "Total time logged in: 1 hours and 32 minutes." - Maybe that should total to 4 hours before you are allowed to PM
If I go into my profile and send a PM from there I get the following:
No, you should be able to PM with one post and not 4 hours logged in, I don't even have that currently. Pretty sure I was able to when I tried with....maybe two posts. Try making a few more posts and see if it changes? I see at the top that "Total time logged in: 1 hours and 32 minutes." - Maybe that should total to 4 hours before you are allowed to PM
If I go into my profile and send a PM from there I get the following:

This is my exact situation. And, I'm hoping this post here will remove that restriction.
I can understand the need to avoid bots and trolls... Could someone comment on this restriction?
It's a onerous restriction because I'm a noob so I'm really not sure how to contribute. Hopefully this small discussion on the restriction raises it.
Happy to be here!

Can't you read the newbie readme before posting such things? lol
Same here now waiting
Hi
The NEWBIE README sticky says:
I was able to send a private message a few minutes after I joined and after I made one post. It's not true that you have to wait four hours.

I'm posting
I believe it is 1 post and additionally a 4 hour minimum wait.
I'm patiently waiting as well as I joined to join a group buy.

Yes, but have some restrictions.
You need 1 post to do so. So you should be able to use PMs now.
Are newbies not allowed to send private message?
