There's the first time for everything.

My post asking about new members' permissions in sandbox just got banned for 'post count spam'. And there is no option to reply. What's going on? Hate to post here, but I can't find a way to respond to the moderator directly.

Thank you.

My understanding is that the Sandbox forum is for test posts. I don'the have permissions to post there. Mages no sense; one would think new members should be allowed. Why this question was marked as spam by the moderator, I've no idea.

All new members have to post 5 times in the New Member Forum (and wait until the server updates at :25 past the hour) before they can post elsewhere on this site. That is the only way the Moderators can catch all the spammers (and delete their accounts).

All new members need to do is post 5 times, not open 5 threads. Does that help?

What is the purpose of posting over in the Sandbox? I'm not familiar with that section of this site.

I was going to use it to test formatting and image posting without bothering anyone. Didn't work out this way, did it? Still bothering innocents

thanks for your comment. I was curious about if 5 posts or threads were required.

You could have asked us -- we get those type of questions all the time.

However, you should be good to go! The server should have updated 30 minutes ago.

You're welcome. You should be go to go in about 30 minutes (the server will update at :25 past the hour).

For future reference there is a preview function when using the full editor. .. you can see your formatting before clicking the post button
