diglot Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 Hi, I just created an account here and am wondering as to why I am not allowed to start a topic in the general discussion forum. I assume there is some sort of benchmark I have to reach before I am able to do that, but I can not see any sort of page concerning forum rules.Is there an actual set of rules for these forums (other than the obvious ones like being courteous, etc)? I have been posting over at the CARM forums for the past couple weeks and they have a long list of rules, which frankly, I find quite ridiculous. Anytime you disagree with someone there, they report your post to the moderators who then give you warnings and infractions for "interfering with evangelism".Anyway, if anyone can help me out and point me in the direction of the forum rules or answer my above question, I would be most appreciative.Cheers!

So it may take time to adjust.I cannot find the rules. There was a set of rules on the old Board, but I'll have to inquire whether they are still available. Meantime, I seem to recall that one must have about 25 posts before one is allowed to start a topic.
Ares Posted September 20, 2011 Posted September 20, 2011 The Board guidelines can be found under the link on the bottom right of your page.You will be able to start topics in the General Discussions section after you have posted 25 times.Of course all rules and regulations are a thinly veiled attempt on the part of moderators to take over the world and impose our will upon you. Enjoy!
