Can't post this in website bug report, so it goes HERE. ENJOY.

The problem is there are too many different issues that are related to the restrictions. One person may need to level up before they can even post while others can't even post even though they are leveled up. The whole thing is related to the forum restrictions and hopefully multiple topics will get someone to notice it. In the mean time this section of the forum will keep getting flooded with posts and most threads will get left behind with no one ever seeing them.

Yeah, "New Player Help" is bound to turn into 'general discussion' (as it is already leaning toward doing so on only day 2 of the forums being open) if they can't let up on these restrictions. And if they crack down on the 'off topic' threads here, then people will just abandon the forums altogether for everything aside from bug reports. It'll be a glorified bug report forum. I certainly won't be frequenting the forums at this rate.

I think maybe SE has misinterpreted our culture as being hostile, just because we're dramatic and animated. That and the rampant beta trolls (which will disappear for the most part once subscription fees start occurring). But really, I think MOST of us can have a fiery debate one moment, and laugh together the next and come off feeling like the whole thing was a positive experience.
