I didn't want to go swimming anyway, baka!
The Post RuleIn order to counteract spam bots and malicious advertisers, RpN requires all accounts to have 1 post and an avatar as well as being at least 15 minutes old before all of the site's features becomes fully available. This means new users may notice that they cannot send private messages or set signatures.
Why the 1 Post Rule?As said before, it is one among many anti-spam measures in place. Without it, PMs could potentially be flooded with various advertisements and so on.
Why is an avatar required?Many spambots don't bother with an avatar and this would prevent them from accessing the feature.
Features AffectedThe features that require the 1 post requirement, an avatar, and account age are included below:
- Starting new conversations (also referred to as Private Messages within other forum systems. New users will be able to receive and respond to conversations started by other users.)
- Setting a Signature
- Making Status Messages
- Sending messages on other user's profiles
All Other Features - Such as posting on the forum and altering profile information can be done by newly registered users without any restrictions.
Once again, new users are required to have at least 1 post and their account, an avatar, and the account be at least 15 minutes old in order to access all features RpN has to offer. If you do your 1st post, please wait 15 minutes for the site to update with your new permissions.
