I never ague with you but lemme ask you dude, when you were newbie then newbies are permitted to post link but now nothing like that, if newbies are now limited by forum mod what then your evidence that newbies can post picture? I don't talk by guess I post as a result of experience
Again, if you've read past results, these restrictions are to prevent unnecessary spam. But then again, you shouldn't have any problems communicating with people. You're probably just might have problems when you're intentions are to promote something. (which is not necessarily something bad, but then again you can buy Copper Member if you want to promote something)
