Hello, I recently noticed "newbie" members are not able to report spam or misplaced posts if they recently made any post of their own. The forum software gives the error message about time required between posts. The attempt to contact a mod should not be considered a new post, thank you.
Op your post is kinda misleading based on the fact that the topic and the content of your post reads two different things. At first thought your post was about being restricted from reporting posts to moderator (which is something I've not experienced before) rather it was about being restricted from spamming.
Understand that over time newbie accounts have been created so spam with scam threads and those posting limitations for newbies aim to curb that. As you grow in rank limitations actually reduce.
