    It is very common for spammers to make 1 or 2 posts and then leave never to return. Or to come back and edit a post after bypassing our spam-prevention systems.

    Restricting the actions of new users helps prevent this and is commonly used on many forums.

    We ask member only to create useful and relevant posts - and not to post just to increase their post count.

    The number of posts required is not made public as this can help spammers know how to bypass our spam-prevention measures.
