try reading here would say you are trying to post in

1) LEGAL
2) SAT/CABLE TV
3) RADIO DECODING
4) Biggy7s cheapskates

if you read the RULES you will find out why you can not post in there

[bricky]

havnt tried to post anything i shouldnt,i,m a member of a few forums ,have been for a few years,kinda no the do,s n donts,came across this forum.it seems pretty good,think i need to do 10 quality posts,but where?in here?:whistle

[MarineBoy]

Seems as good a place as any! <Licks finger and draws a '1' in the air>

I'm probably stretching a few rules by not really 'introducing' myself in an 'Introduce Yourself' sub-forum . . .

. . . I wonder if they'll let me in - even after the 10 posts . . . I'm wearing trainers you see!

:tongue

[Braindead]

Whats in the rules, I have read them 5 times and still cant see why I cant post, except from here. If everyone would start providing an answer instead of saying " read the rules" then we'd no what to do! :nowords:

If you find out what give me a shout

Hey m8 welcome to the forum. Have you tried posting something relevant in the Football forum or D&D for example?

These forums are open to everyone and do not have a minimum relevant post count b4 members are allowed to access.

If you've tried this then I'd ask a mod or admin for help as it could be an error with your account/the forum itself.

hmm could be a shirt and tie job to get in

in theory you should be able to post on almost the entire board except for sat/cable, radio codes and legal, additionaly posts in the bs&t section are moderated so dont appear as soon as you post them (because we block for sale posts for people with less than 50 posts but can buy or place wanted ads or reply to other sales).

if you genuinly cant make a post in somewhere like the dog and duck or the hall of shame then something has gone wrong with your account and it needs to be checked out for you. i know you cant send a pm at the moment but if you realy are stuck post a new thread in the intro section explaining the problem, where you tried to post (and failed) and noting that i told you to post it. someone will then check your account for you to see what the problem is.

I have read them 5 times

yeah clearly

UPDATED RULES FOR THE FOLLOWING SECTIONS


1) LEGAL
2) SAT/CABLE TV
3) RADIO DECODING


4) Biggy7s cheapskates

We have now implemented a policy that you must have 10 decent posts on the rest of the board in order to make posts in the above few sections, we have been forced to implement this owing to the numbers of people signing up to request codes or help then simply leaving never to be seen again, this way you get the chance to experience the rest of what digital-forums has to offer.

perhaps on the 6th time you'll notice this in the official rules thread, note there's more than one post there.

(i'm in a bitchin mood )

So is it delineated anywhere what constitutes a 'decent post'?

Do you really have to be told what constitutes a decent post? Use your common sense.

[ABCMan]

realy thats down to common sense

make 10 posts in 10 mins all saying something like "cool" or "i use that too" or suchlike and the ban button beckons

make 10 posts (including an intro if you wish) that are funny, helpfull, informative or in some way put something usefull into the community and they count as decent and you are in

of course if you make 10 posts either way and dive into the cheapskates corner or limit yourself from then on to simply asking questions in one section and not helping out with others, when you can, it will again bring your membership into question.

if you look around the board you will see that hundreds of people have managed it without problems, yes some people arent always helpfull, we dont expect them to be but if you came here to learn there is no need to post untill you have learned and if you have knowelege to help others (even if thats to make them laugh) then there are plenty of sections on df that you will be able to post in to get your 10 posts before you can fill in the gaps in your knowelege

Not really - but then if it was stated somewhere then I'd like to know about it.

Plus, we're not just talking about me here are we? There are lots of 'newbies' coming on here all the time.

Seemed like a bit of a brusque reply - if I may say so!
(I thought this was supposed to be a friendly place for welcoming new people! )

Thanks to ABCMan for the guidance.
BTW - for some reason I couldn't open the link that you give in your signature - not sure if it is actually relevant to this discussion but I thought you might like to know anyway.

Generally speaking I like the 'feel' of this community. Strangely enough - I would think that the original satellite question(s) that I have will be answered elsewhere by the time I'm 'fully-fledged' but I'm certain to have more - and yeah I'm sure that I can offer something in return along the way.

There are members far worse than me.
