I can't reply to a direct message

[Tupperwarewolf]

Hi! Someone has sent me a message about a classified ad, but no matter what I try to reply, it says that my content looks like spam and can't be posted, even just the word "Yes". I've tried typing something longer in case there was a minimum word count, and it still isn't working. What am I doing wrong?

If i had to guess, I'd say its the forums security software blocking you, you may have used a vpn when you registered, but are now showing an ip address in Manchester, I literally had to approve your post.
Unfortunately I don't have access to the technical side of the forum, & if I did i probably wouldn't know what to look for lol, the man that does know might be along soon-ish ?

Thanks for the reply!

No VPN. I live in Sweden, and I was there when I registered. I have a pistol I need to sell - the pistol is in the UK, bought it on our last trip back, but it's proved impossible to export to Sweden, so trying to resell it.

I'm in the UK this week so advertised it while I'm here as per forum rules saying I need to have direct access to it.

Perhaps I can tag the person I can't reply to though? @Predator731 - I'm not ignoring you, sorry (and it is still available!).

Not quite sure why it's flagging you, this is the approval message I get:

While I wouldn't usually reccomend it, maybe stick a contact number on here for the buyer to get in touch, once he's done so I'll delete it.

Thanks! [Redacted] is my UK number, text or WhatsApp is great

And thanks for the help!

Ok apparently it works if I use a VPN so it looks like I'm in Stockholm

Managed to reply to them so I'll delete my number now.
