Forums Help?

[BlossomRose]

I'm level 41 and I still can't make new threads on the forums except this one. WTF?

[Pendragon72]

SE is restricting the amount of users,who can start threads on this forum.

"please try again later" thank you

What crap. So I can't inform a FC that I want to be part of their group nor intereact with other players on the same server. Wow competent as hell.

What's really interesting is that some of us can't even respond to threads in any forum bar here and in Tech help.

As customer relations go, I'm getting a real tingle in my spine that says *something* isn't right.

When they can pick and choose who can post, rather than banning those who earn such a thing... well... something has been turned on it's ear.

Pendragon72 - You are restricted because you don't meet the level requirements.

Have they posted that information somewhere, because I've been looking for it for the past few days.

EDIT: found it through creative use of the search feature... and following a link someone else posted. Yeah, that's an interesting place to stick the rules that cover the majority of the forums.

Currently, I can't even post about a bug (due to a bug), or make a suggestion in the forums as my character isn't high enough? Yet I can't get in to play as the servers are all full, so I can't level my character. Hmm, getting the feeling that they don't want to us to talk or interact outside the game, yet at the same time we can't get in. And I pity any group that tries to help mid level characters or beginners and tries to use the forums to talk to said players. They'll simply not get any sort of response, because the target audience will simply be unable to give it.

All I'll say about limiting the number of replies a person can make is; "Thank the maker for the 'Edit' function".

And could we please get someone from SE actually making replies in the Tech help forum? Might calm people down a bit if someone actually showed up to do what should have been done from the start.

I haven't posted on the forum yet, except this post. All I am trying to do is respond to the thank you thread with my appreciation for the game, and the forum is like "nope."

I don't see any information in the FAQ regarding what the "minimum level" is. I can understand that this is to mute whiners and complainers, but ironically most of the people I seen complaining about server issues have had enough game time to reach level 20+.

Pendragon72 - You are restricted because you don't meet the level requirements.

BlossomRose - Good question, you should be able to make up to three threads per day, at that point. You haven't exceeded your limit somehow have you? Does this forum count against your total even though it doesn't have the restrictions?

It's been 24 hours and I still can't post in GD.

Having found the link, here you go;

It's very well hidden.

But yes, I am re-posting it here so it is easier to reference:

--------------Thread Creation-------------------------Forum Posts
Level 1-14----Unable to create new threads------------Unable to make a post
Level 15-24-------------------------------------------Can post up to three posts per day
Level 25-39---Can create one thread per day-----------Can post up to five posts per day
Level 40-49---Can create up to three threads per day---Can post up to 10 posts per day
Level 50------Can create up to five threads per day-----Can post up to 20 posts per day

Some of you, not being able to post, I would guess is because according to your forum badge, you are not the correct level. What I would also suggest, if you haven't logged out since meeting the appropriate threshold, try that, and wait a bit for it to update on the back end. Barring that, I don't know why you can't post if you meet the requirements.
