The system is a reaction to a minority who are up to no good. As is often the case the majority ends up footing the bill!
It won't be long before your post count increases and this problem will be gone - in the mean time I reckon asking the site owners / moderators for lack-of-posting-clemency might be a way forward. Using the "@" symbol with the username of the person who contacted you to make them aware of this thread and your troubles might invoke a "mention" which on some forums gets a message to the other forum member saying that someone is talking about you (usually used in a positive way)
I guess - though I'm not sure - if you were to join the club (that runs this website) the virgin messaging restrictions are not enforced.
