    Was trying to post an Image in a thread there and couldn't because it said I was a new user, so how long is it before I can post an image in a thread, kind of annoying that I can't.

    50 posts and a 10 day old account are required.

    Why are they so strict about this kind of annoying my account is a month plus old but only have like 27 posts now so another 23 to go then I can post URL or image links thanks for the reply man appreciate it dude. If I just reply to some threads of other people thats fine as long as its not spam replies?

    It's a necessary evil to stop spammers and other abusers.

    I can understand what you are saying are there no moderators or admins that keep an eye on that kind of stuff going on, or software to track proper threads?

    There's no software that can correctly judge the intent behind posting a link, be it blatant spam or something more underhanded such as shilling. And with nigh on 300,000 active users in a two week period, there's no way to monitor everyone.

    Surprised they haven't come up with something to monitor this website with all the popularity of it and all so 300k is the amount of users it has atm?
