Short answer is no.
It is set that high for a reason. It really isn't hard to get 100 posts if you are here for good reasons, not bad.

We get enough cammers as it is. Making the limit lower would have us overrun with them.

So is the reason that the private post count is so high to prevent cammers from contacting people on the site?
But once they get to 100 posts there isn't a way to prevent them from private messaging people on the site to try and cam is there?

All PMs can be read by admins and cammers are always banned in the end. 100 posts limit is mainly a deterrent for people coming to cam

But cammers would find it cumbersome to make 100 posts just so they can have a little fun. They would give up and go away.

Yeah, no. As everyone posted above, it is to prevent cammers from overrunning us. If I had it my way I would raise it to 150 or 200. Anything that can be discussed can be in thread-form.

When I stumbled upon the message I need 100 posts I was kinda sad because I don't want in any case to spam a forum just to reach 100 posts, butnI sure understand the limit and how high it is, don't worry I won't spam but slowly reach that magical 100 :P

This forum is pretty busy. You can get 100 posts within a day or two if you're chatty.

Sorry, this will not happen.
Lowering the PM cap for one user seems a bit out of line, don't you think? The 100 cap has worked well for a great deal of time and lowering it will enable non-legitimate users to engage in (possibly) rule-breaking conversations.

Well, you've gotten all of the reasons why this will not happen. :locked:
