With the experience of getting more and more stubborn spammers in the old forum, the new user permissions are a bit restrictive here for now.
So as a new user you:
- are not allowed to create new topics
- can reply, but moderated, means your reply has to be approved by a moderator
- can not send personal messages to other users
- can not use the Chat
The common way to reach a trust level, where you can create and reply to topics without moderation, is to hang around here, reading different topics and posts.
Because this will be a bit hard for the beginning, with such little content, you can reply to this post and ask for a higher trust level. If your profile and reply are okay, a moderator can change your trust level manually.
You already had an account in the old forum? Fine, in your reply add a link to your profile there and we can set your trust level to what you deserve.
