Why am I still locked into the newbie area?

[BitNinja]

I read the newbie sticky and it states I need 5 posts and 4 hours on the forum to gain my freedom. Yet here I am, still shackled with the constraints of newbieism Does it just take time for them to go through and manually add new people? Thanks for the help.

i'm glad you can't delete it as it gives me a great place to mention the same problem with my account
