Title: Starting posts for newbies
Post by: mdpro on March 28, 2013, 02:01 pm
Can anyone shed some light about the 50 post rule?  If I'm a new vendor and I want to promote my products, I must either spam post, which I will not do, or wait a really long time to be able to do so.  Can anyone tell me why this rule exists or if there are possibilities for exceptions?

The rules been in place for a while now for whatever reason DPR chose, i think to stop spammers and give new people a chance to learn before rushing in to this. No there are no exceptions, you must make 50 posts before you can post in other sections. You could make a review thread in the newbie section and then link to that on your vendor profile until you have 50 posts as a workaround.

It doesn't take that long to make 50 genuine posts, look you already have 2 from asking this question twice ;)
