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.
I sent Philipma1957cellphone enough Merit to wear an avatar (which they aren't using now anyway) because I know it's not a spammer. I have no problem Meriting any other alt from an established user when I see it.
Newbies have a PM limitation of only 2 PMs in a 24 hour period.
I think you're mixing things up: The PM-limit depends on Activity, not on Newbie-status. So a new account with Merit can still send only 2 PMs per day.I would hate to lose a mobile phone and have some a-hole delete 100000 posts of other people.
If something like that were to happen and someone stole your account, your threads are safe as long as other people posted in them. You can't delete a thread containing posts of other forum members.
