Why can't I add to the Buy, Sell and Trade section?

I want to post a thread asking if anybody has a database(s) of articles relating to dogs in any way. But, when I hit 'new thread' it says I don't have permission to post in that section. Can somebody tell me why and how I might be able to post there in the future?

Thanks!

 

I think you have to be here for 14 days first or so I was told.

 

I think you already passed the 14 days requirement but you need to have more than 25 posts.

Please refer to this, it would help a lot : Posting Guidelines

thanks
I have the same issue

 

Thanks for the responses. I guess I will have to get up to 25 posts. Useful and informative posts of course...

 

They do that to stop spammers

 

I think you mean scammers, instead of spammers.

 

You must follow these two things to post in that section:-

* Must be a member for 14 days
* Must have atleast 25 posts already

 

I thought it was 30 post the same as when you change rank to a grunt. Such a thrill!!!

 

spammer is really what he mean. orelse anyone can just sign up and post in the BST section. (imagine the number if new sign up can post or create thread in BST) of course much more spams and scam thread will happen.
