So... this post count thing

[BTSN Removal Service 3]

Never seen a forum where a low post count barred you from RPing before. Not sure what I think of that, but I haven't been here long enough to fully form an opinion on it. I hope I still have a good time here despite the strange system in place.

The 5 posts 'thing' is a relatively low number, used to keep spambots from getting into the RP section. They're generally noticed and banned before they ever reach 5 posts.
To reach 5 posts, simply post any response that offers contribution to a thread in any forum of the site, with these exceptions:
    Welcoming Plaza
    Testing Forums
    Roleplay OOC sections
    Fan Clubs subsection
    Any of the Cloudsdale Colliseum subsections (Forum Games, Ask a Pony or Forum Lounge)

If you have any further questions, feel free to look around or post in our Site Questions & Tech Support forum! "

Oh, I see your point. That makes a lot of sense actually
