I think it's a way to discourage scammers . If they have to wait 14 days they are more likely to move on somewhere else .
Oh yea, that make's sense. Whatever, I guess I'll find something else to do in the mean time . Oh, I need 25 posts anyway !
Also, You will be well aware of the rules, and hopefully read threads so you won't get scammed yourself.
It's a good thing though. There's hardly anyone here that will do business with people that just joined.
Oh yea.. I never thought of that. I guess it sort of prepares you for later. Then yea I guess that alternativly helps you sell~!
As a newbie who came here specifically for that forum to get some site work done, I can see the frustration. But I completely understand why it is the way that it is. And I only have 7 more days to go anyway.
