Peyups.com has different membership levels. Your current level is visible on your user page.
Level 1 - Newbie
By default, all new users start out as newbies. These are visitors who just created an account, and are still learning the community norms and the way your community works. Newbies’ abilities are restricted for safety.
(We also want to hide any “advanced” functionality from newbies to make the UI less confusing for them as they gain more experience.)

- Send personal messages to other users
- “Reply as new topic” via Link button (UI removed)
