Over 11 years a moneysaver, but

tickerhacker

still a newbie. Wow. Time moves slowly here. Only 1.1 decades registered with MoneySavingExpert but I'd like to know how much more time before the following restriction is removed?
"Sorry as a new user you are not allowed to post with links."

:huh:

It's not just time, it's the number of posts, too.

Posts read, posted replies, or just new threads? And (roughly) how many?

In fact, I'm sure I've been here before:
"Oh, I bet the moneysavingexpert forumites would be interested in [thing-to-link-to]"
*writes message with link*
*clicks "Post New Thread"*
"!!!!!!?"

Ah-ha! I have and even (sort-of) worked around it back here: forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=63874010#post63874010

Posts made; but they don't tell you how many (it would be a bit of a giveaway to a spammer).

There must be some very patient spammers out there.

Have to admit, I am always gobsmacked to see someone who has been registered on the forum for years, and they only have a small handful of posts (like 9 or so.) Sometimes they have gone 2 years between posts. It's a wonder their account doesn't deactivate, or they don't forget their password!

Sometimes people read, and absorb, but don't actually interact. And that lack of interaction is what the rule on posting links relies on. Join in, get involved, be a part of it,. This is SUCH a great community, with so much to be gained from participating!
