Hi everyone, I have read things on this site for ages, but decided to join up partially because my latest story was too big for reddit.com/r/40klore. As per the advice I see on this site, I am trying to place it as a new article as well as in the Fiction forum, but I see the message about needing to make six posts in the forums before doing so. I have made six posts! What is the deal?

Thanks!

Possibly also since your a new poster, sometimes websites have a couple days hold because of so many spambots and people just making accounts to dump stuff. I’d wait till this weekend if you can.

Most likely this. Note that I have seen spam articles in the past.

Previous spam articles were because the article system, as a wiki, was open to everyone. However, the only non-registered users who were posting in there were spambots, so we restricted it to registered users.

If it's not registering your post count, as above, it's likely just a delay in the server communicating with the article system - give it a day or two and try again.

Thanks; I wondered if it was something like that.

Try logging out and logging back in if you haven't already done so.

Hi,
