Hello Everyone,
I am not sure if I did something wrong. When I try to post in certain forumns, I get the following message:

mall007, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation

I have sent the administrators an e-mail about this couple of time over the last couple of months, I am just wondering if I am not allowed to post in those areas because I was banned or something.

If anyone can point me in the write directions to resolve this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The only place you should be restricted from is the Marketplace. You'll need 100 posts in the other forums before you can post there.

Only 99 more for you to go!

Railroader's description is a bit incomplete - the Marketplace posting restrictions are outlined here.

New members are prevented from starting Marketplace threads until they hit a certain post count - the number required goes down the longer the member has been on the forums.

In the meantime, any member can post replies. That covers buying - you can work around the selling problem by watching for a WTB thread for something you have available. And / or participate more. Replies in Marketplace count towards your total, just as they do in other forums.

It should be noted that derailing a Marketplace thread to discuss your own items for sale is a Very Bad Thing and will get users dealt with harshly. It shouldn't be much of a chore for a new member to rack up the required number of posts to be eligible to post new threads in Marketplace.
