Oh dear, signed in to get some Ripples on the giveaway thread and noticed I'm a newbie with restrictions
took me awhile to get here and find out why I could not reply to posts. duh
I think they're fair.
DOUBL POST
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.)

These restrictions make no sense....
nightmare it would stop the majority of them id imagine.
Smoothie or Milkshake they caused this... but Lassi is a good one.
a troll or spammer is not blocked by these rules, imho.
Not much to ask! Great to read other's reaction though.
So, this is why I can't reply anywhere. Silly, but I guess necessary.

Okay thanks for the info!
I don't want to be a newbie anymore.
I was wondering about why I couldn't post. Thanks for the clarification
Why was the post restriction put in place even for really old accounts? 
Simplicity. The number of really old accounts with less than 5 posts would be really small.
Hmm are we supposed to just spam here?
Pretty much. Talk like a human, though. The main goal is to catch spambots before they make it into the main forum, which makes their presence both more annoying and more difficult to clean out.
I thought after I had 5 posts in Newbie I would be able to post in other areas but then I read that there is an automated process that can take up to 10 minutes to see the number of posts have been made.
