And now I'm free to troll  Just kidding!  funny! Due to a mass of trolling, only established posters are able to post in non-newbie sections. You are considered "established" if you have spent 4 hours online and have made 5 posts. If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic. Also: - You must have made one post in order to send PMs. - You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature. - You need 50 posts to put an image in your signature. Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. I disagree w/ this policy so bad!! This formality is arduous but what else? |

I think the restrictions are a good way to filter some spam from the forum. It now requires some effort to troll at least.
Yeah, some. After lurking for a month, I have to say that there is just as much schilling and trolling as any forum. It's the nature of the internet. Soap! Soap with a prize inside! |

So due to spam, new members must spam in the newbies forum, before they are allowed to write meaningful responses elsewhere? That makes perfect sense to me.

They figure true spammers dont have the time (thats 1 post for me... 4 to go) Already has 18 post, yet still a Newbie  I guess you will be a newbie until you have 50 posts. If its 50 posts then people will just post rubbish to get off the newbie list. BTW, just like I'm doing here. Luckly it only 5 posts now... so 3 to go |
"We are just fools. We insanely believe that we can replace one politician with another and something will really change. The ONLY possible way to achieve change is to change the very system of how government functions. Until we are prepared to do that, suck it up for your future belongs to the madness and corruption of politicians."

no wonder I wasn't able to post. I wonder if there was a link somewhere that I miss during registration. This info should be there in case new users reg.

I agree - and because just following the orders gives you a chance to post, I do reply to you |
