Need Help?

[DantesInfernoo]

So i posted before than i get some notification saying im posting for a view count?
Why would you make me post 5 threads before i can post if you dont want to hear what i have to say.
Nor did i know that i cant post like that its my first time on a forum!!!!!
Instead of warning me i think they just deleted my post!!!

Do i have to start back from 5?

You need to slow down your roll.

 

[Susan~S]

You DO NOT have to start 5 threads - just 5 posts.

Respond to people who post in your original thread or go out and welcome other new members or just post in another thread in the new member forum (if you have something to say that is on topic). Once you get in your first 5 posts (and the system updates at :25 past the hour) you will be able to go elsewhere on this forum.

2 of your threads were deleted -- you still have 3 posts. Look underneath your user name and you will see.

The 5 post limit before you can go into the rest of the board is to weed out bots that invade boards and wreak havoc. It's a containment procedure that protects us all from spam and viral threats.

Post 5 times and you get privileges. It's one of the reasons that ECF is the best ecig forum on the internet. You can get your first 5 posts out of the way in a hurry in the new member's forum, then move on to the places you want to see.

Take a deep breath and read this post. It will give you all you need to know to start as a new member.

Just rambling....

I have as yet to understand the difficulty some have with the initial 5 post requirement.
Seems to have been a lot of posts over the past few months from new users struggling with this.

In every forum I have participated in, or simply looked at for that matter, I always look for the forum rules and newbie forums and any stickies in either that pertain to the forums expectations of users. And then I read them.

Forum has requirements to meet in order to participate, cool. Meet them and carry on.

Again, just rambling.....

ETA: Oh, what DaveP said (-:

It is in a check the box if you agree to read & follow the rules section when you signed up to join the forum.

Nobody is trying to be rude, but, we can't help it if you didn't read the rules before or after you clicked 'join forum.'

Welcome.

[GinnyTx]

[VannyPak]

oy vey! I feel like this is getting out of hand.

 

[Reverend Brimstone]

I've seen too many posts lately complaining about that five post requirement. I don't remember having such a hard time getting five posts in and moving on when I first joined up. Has it gotten much more difficult in the last year?

 

[Topwater Elvis]

i know how to fix this take away the 5 post lol

Or instead of clicking on 'agree' without reading what you just agreed to you coulda spent 3 whole minutes actually reading.
All online forums have rules, reading them sooner than later may help you enjoy the time you spend here or at least increase the longevity.

Getting 5 posts is so easy. Just welcome some new people to the forum, or answer a question someone has if you know it. No big deal.
