That is just because you haven't go through FAQ/Rules properly. http://forums.digitalpoint.com/faq.php?faq=rules#faq_posting_guidelines DON.
Rules make me so sad, because i have a flight booking for selling but i must 14 days waiting I respect Digital Point rules
Why can i only post Buy, Sell or Trade and not in the Politics & Religion forum. When the rules say "25 total posts to post in the Buy, Sell or Trade area or the Politics & Religion forum."
Didn't want to create a new thread: what's the deal with needing 3 established members to like something you have posted to be able to create a thread in the BST sections? I see people with 1 like posting new topics.
Same for me. I've been an established forum member for 2 years. Do I need to start collecting likes from zero?
And another thing: now I cannot edit my existing signature, I suppose it's due to insufficient privileges.
It's to help prevent spam, like the old system. As long as you're not making crap posts, it won't be hard to get enough likes and have access to the Marketplace, signatures and whatever else it's needed for. It's a lot easier that 25 posts and waiting x days, IMO.
