Copper Membership includes whitelisting, which solves your problem.
I thought it didn't have any affects on the PM restrictions because I seem to remember an old post by theymos in which he said that it doesn't. Good to know that I was wrong. That basically solves this potential problem, thanks!
Get someone else to Merit your alt, that's what happened to
Maggiordomo when Piggy didn't want to Merit his own alt-account to lift PM-restrictions.
That is isn't the ideal solution either. Asking someone to merit you isn't the way it's supposed to work and is also frowned upon.
(But why the need to merit on the road anyway?)
No, not meriting on the road. Sending PMs while on the road. Newbies have a PM limitation of only 2 PMs in a 24 hour period. Let's assume that I have to keep in touch with x number of forum members daily while I am on my travels, and I only want to be in contact with them through the forum's PM system. I would only be able to send 2 PMs daily and that's it. But LoyceV cleared it up now, and purchasing a copper membership would solve the PM problem.
