Why cant i send a private message - can someone help???

Hi Everyone!!!
I just joined yesterday, and was happily adding ctcs and sending msgs to people, when suddenly I was blocked - something about stopping spam - and telling me to introduce myself on the forum - but I have already introduced myself under "New to Expat.com"!  What am i doing wrong - or what do i still needd to do?....  Can anyone help?...
