Title: How to not be a beginner anymore?
Post by: TheSkeptic on May 31, 2016, 05:57:24 pm
Hello everyone, i recently signed up because there was a crowdfunding project that got my 'dodgy' meters spiking. After 30 mins or so of writing and formatting my post i was hit with the dreaded - you are not allowed to post here message :palm:. So i'm currently wondering, what does it take to post there? i really don't want my time to be wasted :(

In general, for some forums administrators define a certain number of posts reached so that member's threads don't falls anymore in the approve queue. It's just a mechanism to protect the forum itself against spammers.
