We don't restrict new members from posting in any forum (with the exception of Coupon Connection & Omni, which has a 180post/180day entry requirement). If I had been restricted to only posting in 1-3 forums when I first came to FT & yet saw there were many more that would be of use to me as a FTer, I probably would not have stuck around FT very long.
The new forum is intended to be helpful to
both new & long-time FTers, and as a consequence also clean up MilesBuzz to an extent/get it more back to its original purpose.
Cheers.
