Bluesfrog just have fun browsing and know that is takes a while for every newbie.
The reason again is that we had massive spamming a few years ago and it was very hard to control until restrictions were made.
Please don't feel discouraged. I'm betting that the extra time on your hands will actually allow you to browse the site and define your needs and questions
better.
So it's nothing against you really. Welcome to BF and we all hope you'll be here a long time.
