It rids the forums of spam. That's why there is a post minimum.

It's so I don't have to read about how I can get cheap Nike Air Force 1s while I am trying to learn about RX-7s. It was easy enough to get 3 posts and its one of the few forums I know that has this many members and isn't getting beaten down with Generic Chinese Cialis and unlocked iPhone advertisements.

The thing I hate is not being able to view signatures.

LOL. Funny thing is, i don't own a rx-7, I'm here just so that I can find some rx-7 injectors for my miata, and I have to spam 10 times before I can post a wtb ad

I understand why, but it really a PITA. I don't even own a Mazda... I have 2 old BMWs (e21 and e30). I've actually made this account for my cousin who will take this account over after today (he's at work so I'm doing the leg work). And, I made this account in a rush b/c there's a car for sale that is exactly what he's been looking for in the right price range... but of course He/I/we can't reply or PM him b/c of the restrictions. Hopefully I will be able to upon striking that "Submit Reply" button b/c I don't feel like waiting for the moderators to approve of my other 2 thread posts to count towardds my 3.... I'm not sure the car will still be for sale by the time they do! (No offfense to them, I know they're not getting paid for this and they've got plenty on their plate... I'm on several BMW forums and have much respect and appreciation for moderators in general)

General rule here, an RX-7 never sells right away when it's posted. About 95% of the time it sits for weeks and sometimes months. Also, you only need 3 posts to send a private message, and you can also email members if they have their email added into their public profile.
