I cant work this forum out, its BS

[tufv8s]

it seems every time i try to do something i cant because i need a higher post count, so should i just talk random shit like this post to up the count? next i cant PM a forum sponsor BUT i can PM the following users, i cant advertise a Whipple S/C i have because my post count is under 20, i was going to offer it very cheap to LS1 members but i guess il ebay it. il probably get banned for asking the question, thats fine, some one needs to ask, im sure the answer is :we do this to protect the forum and we do this to stop dickheads getting on the site, the forum is one big marketing tool so who cares?
i think maybe some people like rules and control a little to much:soap:

To be able to send PMs your post count must be 20 or greater.

You currently have 9 posts and you can send PMs to following users only:

So, you've been a member for nearly 12 months, made little contribution to the forum, failed to read the FAQ to see if there was any info there and decided to post a thread to complain about it. You also posted a list of forum members in a public area, not a particularly clever thing to do. There is a "Forum Help and Feedback" section, which you can find if you check the main forum page or read the FAQ. Funnily enough, most if not all you questions / issues are answered there.
