ridiculous forum.

I can't post a picture until I've submitted 10 posts. Is this for real? What a ridiculous forum!

You're absolutely right. We're all ridiculous. But you can go on FB and post pictures there. Someone may even give a crap about your picture and click the like button. Not me, of course, but someone else might.

Here's an idea: describe in words and sentences your issue without the picture. With a little effort we might understand. I'm not saying we would care, but before you know it, you could have 10 posts, and....

It's so we don't get plastered with spam, especially video links.

Not just this one, ALL of them.

And come on guys, explain it and stop shooting the bull.

toglhot, welcome to Bike Forums.

After finding your post I thought I’d take a minute to explain to you why you can’t post a picture yet. We are by far the largest bicycle themed forum in the world. Therefore, we are a ripe target for spammers to attempt to advertise their wares. In an effort to reduce the amount of spam that we have to deal with we have instituted a number of things.

One of which is withholding new forum members from posting pictures or links until they have made 10 posts. That gives us enough time to sort out most of the spammers from the regular forum members. Another measure we had installed is 5 posts in 24 hours limit to new forum members. Once you get past 10 posts both of those restrictions are automatically removed.

Forums want new threads and posts and welcome new forum members. This may upset some people and they may vent about it. Perhaps just ask why there is a limit. An easy way to get your post count up is to go to our Introductions forum and introduce yourself. Then maybe take a couple of minutes and greet some other new forum members.

Thank you.
