Hi there. New here in the forum. Cheers!

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.)

Thought I could keep this site open for 5 hours to become a Jr. Member. Nope, you have to click to keep the counter running.

Agree with the need for some restrictions. Just sit tight folks and make yourselves useful on this board and it'll be over with soon enough

The restrictions are fair, but the getting 4 hours logged in is annoying because you have to keep reloading/changing pages for it to realise your are online  On the plus side, I only need 30 more minutes until I'm outta here!

Unusual, but effective. Have been following this forum for a couple of months, and a measure like this really seems to be sensible regarding all the posters and flamers here.

AHHH now I see why I cant post anywhere else 

It might be nice if every newly registered account got an automatic PM that explains the restrictions in the OP and gives a link to this sub-forum.
