New members must post 5 times in the New Members forum

[oldsoldier]

All new members must post 5 times in this forum before it is possible to post
anywhere else.


(You do not need to create 5 threads...just participate in some active threads, you'll have 5 posts before you know it)


We apologize for this, but it is the only way we can control the large amount of
spam that will otherwise overload us.


Please be aware that 'spamming' useless posts for the sole purpose of raising your post count is not allowed,
and will result in your posts being deleted.

As part of the forum's anti-spam measures, new members are initially restricted to where and how they can post. This system is based off of your post count, and consists of three stages. Please note that it can take up to an hour for the forum software to update your account between each stage.

0 to 5 posts:
New members can only post in the New Members Forum.
Cannot post links. (Just put spaces in them like this: www. example .com)
Cannot use Private Messaging (PMs).
Cannot have a signature.
Cannot post images (photos) if linked to on another site.

5 to 15 posts:
Members can post in other forums and use Private Messaging.

15 posts and above:
Members can post in all open forums, and can now have a signature.
Note that some forums are private: access is for special membership categories.
