I suspect the OP's reference to post-count and "not worthy" are references to the limitations on OMNI and Coupon Connection. Perhaps a mod might want to take a crack at that but suffice to say that Randy - and the new owners - felt there were good and sufficient reasons for such limits. They in no way limit participation in the vast majority of the site. Most of the forums are very welcoming and helpful to new posters. Some more than others, but that is pretty well true of every group or organization.
