I'm quite new here so I thought about exploring some boards. I opened up the Archival board and I tried making a post there but I wasn't able to. I then got to know that newbies are not allowed to make posts in the board. But I am a bit curious and I would like to know why it's so.

Not only on archival board a newbie cannot make a post, there is a board called serious discussion board where newbies as well were not permitted to make a post, this does not end there, there are other restrictions on a newbie account that you need to get them unlocked when you rank up to higher ranks, such as wearing an avatar, posting images (except for corper membership position if purchased), to me i see no big deal in denying a newbie access to make post in not more than two or three boards when we have a large number of other boards your post could best fit in, why should you worry, or better still wait till you rank up, this is to avoid spamming or posting unnecessary discussions by a newbie believed to be inexperienced enough about bitcoin or the forum at large.
