So I'm brand new to this forum, actually this is my first post to an internet forum period.
I can not reply to a lot of the the group buys i want to and it is because of this member ranking system?
I understand that there is a community here and this is a good way to build trust and regulate spammers, but..
Where exactly are the newcomers expected to post when they can't post to a topic that drew them into the forum to begin with?
theymos has been discussing removing the newbie restrictions, but I have not seen that happen as yet.
For now, this is the best regulated model that we can afford. Maybe in the next few updates, we should see the restrictions dropped.
