We have a restriction because some duffus decided to post... questionable images in the shoutbox. Spammed it more than anything. And then made many accounts to try and get back in. So... can't really blame the extra security measure.
So, because I can't message you, I'm putting it in the thread, and it's good info for everyone else who hasn't seen it:
We don't state the number of posts needed for a reason. The same reason that the post requirement is a thing. Think about it, a spammer wouldn't care about the post requirement. They'd spam post to get the requirements and then wreck the shoutbox again. Please edit the post so it doesn't have the numbers, and for everyone else who might see this:
The correct answer is that there is a certain number of posts you have to hit, or they can ask Rayven. Please DO NOT give numbers.
