Private Messages; No permissions

Every time I try to use the private message feature, I get the following error:

LinuxQuestions.org Message
You do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. You do not have permission to access the page that you were trying to. Are you trying to edit someone else's post or trying to access administrative features? Check that you are allowed to perform this action in the Forum Rules.
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

Are these only accessible after a certain posting threshold, or is this a `glitch'?

In layman, I was suggesting the idea is stupid.
