conversation with admins?

[void]

maybe a year ago (definitely two) it was still possible to start a conversation with anyone - now I understand it's not allowed unless one has mentor group status or whatnot - fair enough
however it seems one cannot even start a conversation if admins which feels weird and there seems to be no other option than opening a thread ask publicly regarding some forum related stuff... which feels even weirder

You can contact admin by using the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page.

I see, I meant specific admin/moderator account but never mind

@void, you probably still can. But you have to delete some messages. It is called "leave conversation" here. Tried to contact you and got the following error.

@JohnLocke can you maybe increase his inbox?

Well, for the general information, anyone can start conversation with / send private messages to other forum members either after (roughly said) being here active for some time and gaining some reputation; or immediately after upgrading to Mentor Group.
Details are to find in Help section here Learn how you can start a conversation with other forum users. or Account Upgrade...

@void, your account fulfills the former Conversation Criterium perfectly

however it seems one cannot even start a conversation if admins

Eh? Have you meant “with admins” or what?

and there seems to be no other option than opening a thread ask publicly regarding some forum related stuff...

Well, generally I do not consider to be a bad idea asking about some forum-related stuff publicly; but there definitely can be exceptions

@daniels27 is pretty right, according to the screenshot
How many messsages do you have in your inbox? I admit I do not recall the current limits (250 for Pro members, I guess?) but we surely can have look at it.

NOTE:
1) After you leave some conversations, it might be necessary in addition “Delete conversations permanently“ (if you have the deleted conversations still in the trash folder) – select all of them and then choose this action... (If you have all selected, just click at Selected)
Yes, it is not very intuitive, frankly said... But you might see no Trash folder
2) Your changes might be not reflected immediately but after some hours / running a job. It's 12 hours max, I guess.

@Forester started conversation with me but I cannot reply

which is probably nonsense despite my account is about 7 years old or so

I don't see an option to delete messages neither "leave conversation"... screenshot please

yep, I type faster than think

the thing is I cannot see any of my conversations from the past

How many messages do you have? Maybe leave some more.

Well, you should be able to reply to Moderator, regardless of your limit, really.

despite my account is about 7 years old or so

It should not be important.

Enclosed. But I admit that your GUI can look differently... (different access rights). This of @daniels27 should look identically.

As already mentioned a few times, you can always use the contact form, which you can find just below, or at the bottom right of the forum.
https://www.offshorecorptalk.com/misc/contact
Your mailbox can hold up to 250 messages. By clicking on 'LEAVE conversation,' you can make room for new messages. You can view all your old messages up to the limit.

You can upgrade your account to Mentor Group Bronze, for example, where you'll have space for 1,500 messages and an advanced inbox with sorting options, etc., or you can wait until the next level – Elite Member.

If we allowed an unlimited number of messages, the server would quickly fill up.

I cleared (one by one :/) all the spam messages I received during the years but still cannot message anyone

the contradictory screenshot shows that something fishy is going on

There is nothing "fishy" as you call it! I think there is something that isn't set correct.

If you need it sorted out please use the contact form, we can't work further on it here.
