Okay, I am not established yet, but I am still happy with this new system. Even though it makes it harder for you to post it is harder for spammers. P.S. Lets make digital point a better forum by not swearing or spamming, thanks.
It will take a while to become an established member. Keep contributing to DP, keep it spam free and you'll definitely become established member.
