Title: Why can't I post a new topic in Requests...?

Why can't I post a new topic in Requests...?

I have a new topic that I want to post in the Requests section... Is there some kind of number of posts I need to have before being allowed to post? I have no idea why I can't post a new topic in there....

Yes, until you have 50 posts you will only be able to post here and the Customer Support section.

OK, let me just say, that's a very poor law on the forum.. If people were spamming in Requests, mods could just delete the posts..

And now.. in order for me to get to 50 posts... I will basically, well, I don't even have 50 things to say.... So... If I even want to post in there, I'll just have to fill up this forum with junk...

See what I'm saying..?? Like.. it's a silly rule.. can someone please go to the mods and change it..? Can the mods/admins please change this stupid 50 post rule? It is a stupid, stupid, stupid rule.

I don't think it's stupid, it was put in place to slow the spammers. At one point it was frustrating to find every board full of their BTC scaming posts. Go look. :)

I understand your frustration but, surely you would rather be restricted and read any important information than have the boards filled with spam?

I'd say it's working. They spammed here a little while ago. Slid off into oblivion rather quickly.

No. It's s stupid rule, because they could just as easily spam this board

I mean, let me ask the people in this thread, then... What should I do now, because I really want to post a request in the Requests section.. Should I just fill up this forum with junk, or should I post the request in another section, like, say, this very section..?

You should post your request here first, because you can.

On some furums, turbo posting is not allowed. The mods would delete turbo post threads and there goes your count.

They don't seem to do that here.
