Account limitations for new joined members (newbie)

[Biagio CerrutoParticipant @biagiocerruto89396]

I have just signed up, and for example I cannot see the contacts in the Sales Ad and I should make few number of posts to overcome the limitation.

I can instead post on the Wanted Ad.

Which are the limitations for the new accounts? how many posts are needed to unlock the full potential? is there any link where I can find the above info?

Best Regards

Biagio

I don't know exactly how this forum protects itself against 'bots', that is software written to penetrate websites for the purpose of planting malware, advertisements, scams and other nastiness.

However, a common counter-measure is for the site to confirm new members are human by getting them to jump through a few simple hoops before giving full privileges. After registering, the extra steps are complicated enough to fool a bot, but hopefully not complicated enough to annoy genuine new members! The exact method isn't advertised, and is periodically changed, because that would give a bot programmer enough information to pick the lock.

Typically, proof of humanity is provided by insisting new members make a few posts, perhaps introducing themselves and saying hello. Nothing difficult about the posts, short and simple should do the trick, there's no need to write a complicated essay!

I want to buy a set of Torquay Manor drawings but cannot access seller details for a set available in the Sales classifieds, due to new member restrictions. I have managed to post a Wanted classified for this drawing set but this has not helped. Can someone help by perhaps letting the seller know that I would like to buy his drawings and putting us in touch.
