Thank you for your inquiry. New members have a post cap limit until they reach a post threshold. We don't advertise the specific post threshold, as it can change and is in place primarily to prevent spammers from abusing the post system. We don't want to make it easy to circumvent, but it is very minimal. Your limit will reset 24 hours after you received that message.

Alternatively, you can partake in the community discussions to raise your post count, and ultimately, this will remove the limit on posts for your account. Happy posting!

These restrictions make the site pretty pointless. How can I get the restrictions lifted?

New members are always welcome, but because numbers of spammers sign on using spurious information to spam our members we have developed anti-spam protocols that, though they impose restrictions on new members, keep the forum pretty spam free.

It looks like you’re up to 12 posts now. But in any case you could start new threads, but early on they went into a moderation queue for Moderators to review and approve.

The information in the Wikipost at the top of the page is pretty definitive.

Trying to see if I can post here. Thank you! I tried making a post in the MileagePlus forum without images, URLs, or links and it kept stopping me.

Well this one worked...

Access to OMNI
 
What is the post count required for access to OMNI? Is it 180 posts? If so, I look forward to finally gaining access in the year 2036, at my present posting rate.

That is correct

Time to pick up the pace, then.

Possibly. Be aware “picking up the pace” with noncontributory posts is likely to get a member barred from fora like OMNI or The Coupon Connection, which require minimum numbers of days on FT and (contributory) posts, and that post counts can be adjusted by Moderators. :) (“Picking up the pace” to more than seven posts per year shouldn’t a problem - but a sudden flurry of posts might be.)

Yes, I'd say there is very little reason to fear me spamming the forum.

I have the same problem replying/asking a question in an established thread. NO image no URL. still can't post

Welcome to FlyerTalk!

You joined today, and then posted 5 times in 30 minutes. That triggers the throttle since that is sometimes the behavior of spammers (as noted above).

Hi Mods,
Is it possible to get the private message limit removed for one/two days. In conversation with jonnyc regarding an AA issue. I didn’t realize there was a limit in messages and got hit mid conversation.

Unfortunately, there’s not; it’s a hard limit. Ask him if he has an email address he’s willing to share in your next message, or wait the limit out as you post.

Can mods help work around the image posting restriction? I created an account to update a thread and some members are asking me to post a photo of a certain credit card. This will be my 2nd post

I apologise, didn't notice that images are considered URLs too.
