    Nope. Rules are for everyone so everyone needs to follow them (general members as well as premium members).

    DON.

    Hi,

    I am having the same problem. I just posted my 25th post about 31 minutes ago, and it immediately let me start using the PM system whereas before I was locked out of it until I got my 25th post, so that works great, and I sent my first PM with it without problems!

    However, I've been told that I should have gained access to the buy/sell/trade areas where I should be able to post. I assume this is the right area to post for needing to sell something, or buy something. I need to make a post for asking other DP members who own websites to send me their sites info as I'd like to place banner ads out there. However, when I tried posting in that area I got a message from DP saying I had no permissions to post in that area.

    If this was due to the DP system not being updated yet then why did my PM system let me use it? If it wasn't due to that reason then why was I denied access? Are there more post # requirements beyond 25 post to gain access to this area? As far as I know I haven't gotten any citations for anything so if this area only requires my 25 post why won't it let me in?

    please, if you know why, or can point me in the direction of someone who can find out why I'd appreciate it. Also, if there's a place, a thread or something I can go to in order to see if there are any other posting requirements I need to be able to get into any area please let me know as I have only seen the 14 day requirement, and the 25 post requirement so far.

    Oh, and one more thing... What is this rating thing for, and how does one get a rating from other DP members? Is it important to get a positive rating? I don't know what a red rating is, but I assume it is negative, and bad, but I know I don't have any negative rating thus far. I have a zero rating, not positive, or negative. Does a zero rating prevent you from posting in the buy/sell or trade forum? Any light you can shed on this would be most helpful, and appreciated!;-)

    Thanks,

    Buy, sell, trade permissions run off CRON job and are not granted instantaneously.
