Hey all ,
Ive been a member for over an year but never really posted here. Today I was to ask much answer needed question only to find that I would HAVE to make 5 random posts to be able to post on the Market place. So my apologies if anyone comes across any of my random posts. :S

Best.

HI,

5 posts is a lot! and I think they should bring down the minimum to 3!! I bet I'm not the only one that thinks that way!

I believe the restriction is to avoid spamming and bots from auto-posting on random forums.

Yep, I'm pretty sure that's it. Especially since there's spam, auto-posts, and ads once in a while, so it's just a way to minimize that.

i think they want students to know each other so by doing the 5 posts, you are forced to first introduce yourself and then get to talk to others
