    Ah it's a post limit thing is it.

    That seems a bit silly to me. I lurk on these forums a fair bit and sometimes I ask a question, but I can't thank somebody for helping me because I don't post regularly?! Surely that's just encouraging people to spam post to get up to the desired post count.
