New Members - "How many posts do I need to..."

[e-liquid]

As part of the forum's anti-spam measures, new members are initially restricted to where and how they can post. This system is based off of your post count, and consists of three stages. Please note that it can take up to an hour for the forum software to update your account between each stage.

0 to 5 posts:
Members are restricted to posting in the New Members Forum only, and can not have a signature.

5 to 15 posts:
Members can post in other forums.

15 posts and above:
Members can post in all forums, and can now have a signature.

This system takes effect as of 2/1/10.

Please be aware that "spamming" useless posts for the sole purpose of raising your post count is not allowed, and may result in your posts being deleted.
