Why do you need at least 15 posts?

Well, thats the question.
Why do you need 15 posts to see hidden content?!?!? ._.
This is annoying...

It's used to filter out high quality users from leeches / spammers.

most likley to keep spammers and leechers of the site, annoying but effective i guess

speaking of which... making threads about the post limit is not allowed.

not sure if i would go that far - but i can see why they would go with this

Yeah it's to deter people from making tools to scrape the forums for tools etc, easier to manage spammers etc.

I'm just looking to browse around really new to this stuff!

To avoid people who are just leeching and here not to contribute to the community honestly.

Because you do... Lol

It is a bit annoying but I don't really mind

Just what I was thinking lol! Like people said, prevents spam

i thinks here are a lot of spammers, also for the downloads you need the other post hehe
