We had an incident recently with someone creating hundreds of accounts to get around user email throttling controls in order to send phishing messages to other users.

Until I figure out a smarter way to prevent this, emailing other users is restricted to premium accounts and established traders for now.

Thanks for all the work to keep the site running smoothly!
