New member limits/restrictions
« on: January 07, 2018, 05:31:19 PM »
Tom, can you let us know what are all the limits/restrictions placed on new members , and at what point thy are lifted?  That would be very handy ofr the FAQ section (and I'm surprised this info is not readily posted already).

Things like which forum sections are blocked, any limits placed on setting up the features of members profile, etc.

Of course we already have this in the FAQ section, but it is only covering one thing and has lots of typical TRW wisecrack comments (not really a good FAQ).

1. Guests:
    -Have to put up with the side ads.
    -Can't view attachments
2. Members with < 25 posts:
    -Side ads disappear
    -You get to post an introduction!
3. Members with > 25 posts:
    -Ability to edit profile
    -Crew Lounge access
    -Ability to participate in the trading post
    -Can upload to the gallery

I feel like we should have another level of benefits in there! Like 24hr access to Ed K at 1000 posts or something.

Maybe that should be at 10K posts, which it looks like you just surpassed recently.
