Can't access F/S/T Forum...

[Blazestorm]

It's been a while since I've been on here, thought I'd browse F/S/T but I'm blocked.

I have 120 posts / had an account for 4 years, so I figure it's just a bug with the new update.

Thanks

you need to fix your profile email as well, check the sticky

Ahh, didn't see that in the sticky.

Didn't mention anything about an email, but I added one.

Thanks

Right, but if you can't access the F/S/T forum initially, you can't see that thread.

Understood, but now that you can I just wanted to point that out! :sneaky:

Yeah, I can't, either. Tried to make a bunch of helpful posts for people so I can start shopping for a video card on the cheap and I can't get in

You should have access now, but after reviewing your posts you made them all within the last few minutes.... Nothing like neffing it up just to gain access.

I spend my days in IT, I rarely feel like talking about it extensively afterhours, much less discussing it in a forum. I at least tried to be helpful with my replies. If you put up a barrier to F/S/T, people like me who only will visit occasionally pretty much HAVE to "neff" to get in. I hope you understand that I don't want to do that and tried to contribute instead of posting "lol" over and over again like some would.

Regardless, thanks for the help. I'd move this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2065031

to a location where people who aren't yet part of F/S/T can see it. It's not doing much good where it is; I couldn't see it until you approved me.

No need to see it until you have access.

And only a few posts since gaining access as well.

I don't understand the hostility. If I came to buy or sell something, what's the problem? I'm using that forum for its intended purpose and I'd wager my "helpful" post percentage is better than 80% of your existing members. You're bagging on the wrong guy.

I need help too !

The reason why the requirement is put in there is to prevent trolls and returning banned members from posting there as soon as they sign up. When someone posts 25 quick posts more than likely out FS/T mods and admins have not had time to look at these new membbrs to see if they are "returning members"

It not meant to filter people like you out, its meant to give the mods time to look at the new signups. 25 posts in a hour just does not help us at all as it doesn't give us time.

Now to stop this circumvention we had added that someone now needs to be a member for 7 days in addition to the 25 posts

The requirement I understand and sympathize with. I used to moderate a few forums. It was just the criticism that I didn't find appropriate. Thanks for taking the time to answer, I do appreciate the job you do.
