Welcome to the PF.

I don't see anything yet in your profile that suggests spam activities. Which user are you trying to respond to in a Private Conversation, and why do you not have any posts yet, but are in a conversation? That's a bit unusual for a new user here...

I made this account to talk to get in contact with someone on this site. I'm trying to respond to someone who was asking for help with self studying.

Maybe you should try an alternate method of contact. Apparently you have some spam issues here...

Did you try to respond to their post in the forum? That is how you should contact members if you wish to help.
