Can someone answer a question and clarify the BST section?

    Okay so I signed up with digital point 10 days ago and I have a few questions about the policy of being able to post in the contests part of the forum.
    It says:
    You must be a member for 7 days and then below that is also say be a member for 14 days and post 25 posts in total BUT it also says in the most relevant forum category.

    So I am just curious if I post 25 post on here and have been on here for at least 14 days then will I be able to post?

    Also what if there is a period of time after I post that I don't post? I read someone's post that if you are inactive then it will change back to re having to re post again?

    The reason I ask is I have a full time job and my time is valuable trying to get everything ready for my start - up, plus trying to juggle kids and family. I do not just sit on the internet for hours on end (lol). I don't have the time nor the want to do this.

    So that I can conduct contests on here if I fill out 25 posts and 14 days then can I do this?

    I am not trying to be rude at all it just seems inaccurate to me that if you have all this time to sit on the internet and post on forum boards, then that is what determines if you are going to scam someone or not. So someone that sits here and posts say 100 posts is actually considered credible and the person that does not waste time in their life sitting on the internet is not credible...But again I am trying to be able to do these rules so I can post on here for contests only.

    I will say if you ask why do I want to post on here instead of other contest forums? Because I have researched all the contest websites and this one seems friendly, professional and very good original designers not copying and actually designing real designs. Tracey

    This is the bit you want to take note of:

    Contests is within BST (Buy, Sell or Trade).

    Well that makes absolutely no sense as you cannot post to the b/s/t at all. So I have to post 25 posts in politics and religion. wow.
    Or I will see after 14 days maybe I can post not sure but I am only a buyer not a seller and not a trader so again < lol> 25 posts in politics and religion. Thanks for the heads up.

    You misread it: it's a requirement for either section. There are many different sections on here, so it wouldn't take long to find some discussions to get involved in and meet the post requirement.

    Well, DP has their reasons for this rule, which you'll surely find out soon when you partake in BST. :p
