How many private messages can you send before you are blocked?

I am not interesting in sending spam messages to anyone here on SEOClerks, but I had read here on the forum how you can get banned or blocked if you send too many private messages to other members. I just want to know how much 'too many' would actually be, whether one private message or one hundred. If you are sending a private message to a former customer, is that considered spam?

I'm not sure, however as long as it's not spam or any type of advertising, I can't see it being a problem. You could always email support just to see what their take is on it, and hopefully they can steer you in the right direction.

15 Messages I think. But I am not sure. Sending same message to multiple users at a time is Spam. Dont try or do this. You will be infracted for sure.

I suggest Jordan to advertise more about Infraction Policies. Many new users not familiar with SEOClerks TOS and getting banned.
2 Infraction - Permanent Ban.

Often, a buyer will send me a private message on SEOClerks asking about my services. And, this will usually be someone that I have worked with on site before. Then we will converse back and forth via private message for a few days before they make a purchase. If they don't make a purchase and I'm the last one to have responded, I think it would be OK to contact that person via private message a few days later to see if they are still interested. After all, they initiated contact first so it's not like this would be a random spam message. I would assume that would be alright to do as maybe the buyer had simply forgotten to reply back or was taking time to think over the issue.
