How come no one can see my posts, or I can't make new threads?

If you are a brand new member, you are "on probation" until one of our moderators has approved three of your posts. This means you cannot make new threads, and your posts will be hidden for a time.

This is to cut down on spam on our forums, and make them a fun and rewarding place for everyone. 

Don't worry -- as long as you are on-topic and sticking to our forum rules, you'll be taken off probation quickly.
