Limitations for new members:

10 posts and 7 days of registration = PM option becomes available.
15 posts - they get the ability to use images, smilies & URLs
10 days - they get off-topic access

Some tips for new members:
1. to post photos post broken links
ie: xxxx://forums.bimmerforums .com/forum/showthread. php?t=618529

people can put two and two together and make them work. You can also see about emailing your photo to another member to help you out.

2. Don't whore for posts.
We have a nifty new software that merges them all together, so you are just wasting your time and energy

3. Read the rules
This will help you get along here without getting in trouble: http://www.bimmerforums.com/rules.php

4. Make sure your post is in the right spot.
If you have a question about a specific model, put it in the specific model subforum.

5. Check for info before you post
I don't want to discourage anyone from posting, however, this forum has a lot of really good information already here that may be better than the info you would get from making a new thread. Many subforums have stuck threads on the top with names such as "Frequently asked Questions" or "Read Before Posting" there is a wealth of info in here that you should take advantage of. You can also try searching.

6. Don't be afraid to ask us for help
If something doesn't make sense or something is being very rude to you, etc. Don't be afraid to take it up with the moderators. We are here for a reason. We like new members and want to keep them,

I've been a member for more than 10 days and have 15 posts but I can't access OT.
My boyfriend sends me links but it says I don't have permission to view this page. Help, please?

Thank you for the rules, I have finished reading them and hopefully after 15 posts I can post images that will help me describe my problem more accurately.

[holokid87]

Just had a look at the rules thanks ill get a few posts before i start my journal!

[74tiiGolf]

That seems stringent. But let my posts and days begin!

[IcemanBHE]

Its not. Its for a good reason.

[HamsM5]

posting... why? to get my post count up. I've not really posted to the forum because I read and research...

[PKelly]

read and understood

[rthammar]

Thank you

I have been a member for more than 10 days and I do not have access to off topic. Is there some other requirement? I only made one post (a picture of me driving my car at an autoX), but I do not feel I have much to contribute in the technical part of the forum right now so I have not posted more.

Seems weird to be encouraged to bypass the rules by posting broken links. Since its encouraged though, im doin it!

[Courterman08]

The post rule is incredibly annoying... I understand you're trying to prevent Spam bots. But not everyone posts even 1-2 posts per day. Hell, I can't even post an intro showing my car because I can't use URL's or IMG tags. I guess I'll just post whore for 13 more posts until I can do that....

[sendai]

Am I reading the OP incorrectly? I have been a member longer than 10 days, I only have a few posts, but that does not seem to be a requirement for the off topic thread.

[bhracing]

Thanks. Now I know the rules til I can PM.

[feetwet78]

Thanks for the heads up ! Looking forward to getting off restriction lol.

[xmatmokx]

any way to get this info copied into the forum rules? unearthed this by chance looking for posting info.

will you ever make an OT sports thread?
