u came here to join in on discussions with vapers you know from other forums, groups, RL and you did not have to post random things just to get in to the forum you were invited to join in on. Sooo in an order to limit spam you put people in a situation where they are basically posting spam since we are having to "just post" to get where we want to be.

The idea is that few spammers will stick around long enough to get 5 posts. Also spambots won't post 5 times.
Wait until about 4:30AM EST. You will see spammers show up like clockwork. They'll all have one post in their count and it'll take a few minutes till the mods discover and delete them. But, because of the 5 post requirement, they're restricted to this forum and don't hide all over the site.

LOL I don't have a problem helping if I was able to be of any help lol my one month vaperversity was this week so I still don't even know what my ohm does to my volt to make me do the hookey pokey lol. I also had done the 5 posts and still not able to go post in the forum with my friends so is frustrating to be sitting here wanting my training wheels off and for some reason no one remembered the wrench :)

You may have to wait about an hour after the fifth post. I see what you're saying though since you came on an invite, maybe they should have something for that, if you get an invite you can circumvent the newbie process and get to your buds immediately.

Was of course a WOM invite but would be a great idea for there to be a invite option for Veterans so they could invite newbies to the forum they know and want to continue to encourage to be involved in the community. vaping def helps you get over analog but being part of a group and that support and community is actually a far more important part.

If you put your left ohm in, and your left ohm out you can do the hookey pokey and work your voltage out!!! lol.

Where you least expect it....
Most people don't have a problem introducing themselves and helping out fellow vapers.

+1

Most people that join this forum are new to the scene. They can get the help that they need here.

Anyways, most people understand this and have no problem with it.
