    Can't Contribute To My Own Thread

    Yesterday I started a thread in Speakers Corner. Today I can't give a reply in my own thread !
    Seems strange that a newbie can start a thread here but needs 100 posts to reply.
    Any suggestions? A mod can transfer the thread to another section where 100 posts aren't needed ?
    Thanks

    Go into the Games Room. You can run your post count up very quickly there.

    Thanks Davis. At my age life is too short to play games just to fulfill some stupid 100 post rule for a particular section.
    Jumping hoops for immigration is more than enough for me.

    It does seem odd that you can start a thread in Speakers Corner but cannot contribute to it. Did you really start it in Speakers Corner or was it moved there (by a mod) from somewhere else like the Lounge?

    you may have highlighted a permissions error in the forum config

    allowing people to start threads in controversial sub forums before they had proved themselves even slightly would just be hanging out the red rag to many internet fcuktards

    as per above , just pop into the games room and post some pap in the various threads to get your numbers up

    your thread topic an post in speakers corner was a good one - twas a red rag
    If you torture data for enough time , you can get it to say what you want.

    Yes, I started it in Speakers Corner; seemed to be the appropriate place.

    No post count restrictions in speakers corner except as in all need at least 5 post to post a link and need ?? posts for pics. Forgot how many.

    Perhaps you tried to post a link before you had 5 posts?

    Go try again.

    Another possible error in the forum config. I was replying to a post about how well Trinidadians have integrated when I was confronted with the 100 post rule. In rejecting my reply the other post was deleted from the thread.
    Or could it have disappeared because it also suggested ISIL types should fcuk off ? I hope not...free speech etc. and the suggestion, although radical, was made in a polite, non aggressive manner.

    Ahh. It sounds like the post you were quoting was removed by the mods, and you do not have permission to access it. (only the mods do). However, in that case, there would be no 100 post rule. Try to post again in the thread and see what happens. Post a screenshot of what you get.

    Speakers Corner Air your opinion on current world affairs. A forum for civil discussion and exchange of ideas. No flaming or abuse allowed. All posts should include your opinion on the subject, not your opinion of the member posting.

    Perhaps "fcuk off" is not included in the mods guidebook under "civil discussion" but comes under "flaming" or "abuse".

    Thanks, Norton.
    I just made a successful test posting on my thread.
    Checking my profile, I see that the thread opener was my 5th post. So why I got the minimum 100 post message and why the Trinidad post got deleted will join flight MH 370 as one of life's great mysteries!
    Perhaps computers are only human and he was in a bad mood this morning.
    Many thanks everyone for your interest and help.

    Actually it was your eighth post: one in February, one in March, one in July, one on 24 August, then your 'multi-culti" post.
