EDIT: I just noticed the thread for spamming to 50 posts in the Newbie forum, but I seriously thing that rule should have been stickied in the Silk Road discussion forum, since that sounds like the closest thing to announcements/etc, which is where I would look for any rules I should know about. Seriously though, vendors asked in their SR profile to post a review on their review thread here and it took me over 20 minutes to find out about the 50 post rule, which will be a pain in the ass unless the capcha verification is somehow absent in that thread, since the word newbie is kind of a turn off after playing MMO's (which doesn't stem from being called one, it's seeing other players rage the frack out at someone who's just learning how to play the game, a new class, or class specialization.... or in the case of WoW back in cata, when someone decked out in full raid non-LFR epics freaks out at people who just reached the gear requirements for doing heroics and insults them for not doing enough damage compared to them]
After seeing a post about a new potential site to migrate to and after checking it out, I noticed several security flaws that practically make anonymity impossible as well as other issues (like not being able to see where listings will be shipped to when viewing a category or all the listings by a vendor without looking at the listing, profile, or unless it's in the title/link to the product listing.
I wanted to post about that but had no reply button, so I looked at a bunch of other threads from a few different sections of the site (several threads in each discussion and market) and couldn't find it either. The same goes for posting a new topic (there's a vendor I'd like to get in touch with but the site's not letting me post anywhere but here).

Oops, I meant to post this in technical support, which I just noticed I can't even post in..
Also, I saw a thread about there being a 50 post rule... Which I didn't see any mention of this stickied anywhere (yet?) like you'd expect in other forums where the forum rules are posted.
I think 50 posts is kind of unreasonable with SR down, I can understand the need for a limit to prevent spam, or something else (one forum I used to be very active in had an introduction thread for newly registered accounts that everyone had to post in, and had to meet certain criteria before an admin would approve them, at which point all other sections of the forum were visible, prior to that there was the intro and a public discussion visible by even unregistered users), but 50 posts is absurd as another member described it when some of us haven't had a reason to come to the forums but were regular buyers on SR and even have the same username.

All I want to do is try to get in touch with vendors I've been buying from, and only one has posted in the "VENDORS POST HERE" or whatever it's called thread...
-_-
I tried hitting the X in the URL bar where the refresh arrow icon usually is after clicking post, hoping the slowness of the site would have given me time to stop it from being posted and add this post to it. I thought it did since I got redirected to an error page with the SR logo, but I guess not, and editing it would slow down my progress to my 50 posts.... only 47 more to go....
Please don't report any of this as spam. It's going to take me long enough as it is to be able to post where I need to and my tuition kind of depends on being able to place orders, and the one vendor who posted their info in the above mentioned thread is more for personal therapeutic use. Few people are interested in alprazolam since it lacks a noticeable muscle relaxing effect on the body like other benzos, while I take it for general and social anxiety (though I do miss the physical relaxing effects of some other benzos, but none of them come in powdered form easily sent via lettermail).
