Some rule had to be obeyed.

[chumpy]

Had to google to find out about the newbie restrictions. They make sense, no complaints, but perhaps a one liner on the top or bottom of the page would be helpful

I also think that those rules should be made more visible, maybe in the "help" section?

So, when can I post something new rather than just replying to other people's posts? (I mean post to the newbie forum. I get that I am restricted to this forum.)

Do replies count as "posts"?

Seeing all the same concerns, like not seeing the post form makes me laugh. I knew I wasn't going crazy

ok, I understand about trolls and bots, but now I have to make 5 silly messages before I can let my pool operator know that there is a block that didn't report correctly?  This is dumb.
Do the pool operators have the option of marking their threads available to new accounts?

Specifically stopped lurking and created this account just to report on the issue....

that explains y i cant do anything!

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 (new topics or replies).

If you have really good posts, you can post a request for preemptive whitelisting in the appropriate topic.

Also:
- Newbies cannot upload their own avatars.
- You must have made one post in order to send PMs.
- You need 10 posts to put a link in your signature.

Note that it may take up to 10 minutes for your PM or posting permissions to be granted. (The system automatically checks every 10 minutes and promotes people as appropriate.)

good rule
