Title: Whats wrong here?
Post by: Starsky on March 27, 2010, 08:20:57 PM
Hey,

I'm kinda new and already have a lot of problems

I have no ideas how to change or post my profile picture, normal forum standards don't seem to apply
I can't post links?
I can't view anyone's profile so I had to post this here, couldn't contact the staff


you've got like a way of passage everyone hast to go through before I can do s**t??

Because of spammers, new users can't post links or images until they reach ten posts.  

I'm not sure about modifying posts, but I assume you can't do that either (I don't know for how long).  See this thread for more information: http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,126580.0.html

As far as viewing people's profiles, I am not sure what the problem is.  What happens when you click on someone's name?

Just hang in there and keep posting, the restrictions will lift.

Oh, and welcome!

EDIT: Moved to "Trouble Tickets."

Thanks.

When I click on someone it says "you can't just view any profile"

Thanks.

Now that you have more than 10 posts, can you see someone's profile when you click on it?

Yes, at this point you should be able to see the profiles of members who have made their profiles public.  It is all because of forum spammers, who will use software tools to harvest information, create spam links in their profiles, and so on.

God, how I hate spammers.  Hate, hate, hate spammers.
