Why am I getting this when I try to post something for sale in the classifieds?

There is a new rule that you must be around here enough to post on the FS/FT forums. Where was it... I can't find it.

Implemented from today, you have to have been a member for 30 days and have made at least 15 posts to start a classified thread. Your last post has upgraded your membership to allow that.  There was a notice, which will appear for everyone in a grey box at the top of pages a dozen times.

I don't like the posts requirement. Another forum requires that you wait 90 days before you can even see the forum, and the selling forums aren't googleable. It's a bit harsh but it works out prettywrll.

Hmmm.  Ok well at least I know now.  I guess there has to be rules some way.
 
Post counts end up being annoying to people like me who have been on the forum for over 2 years consistently but not a poster.
 
Cheers.

  Off to sell my gear now!

I do not like this either. What is the reasoning behind it?

Scamming was rampant for a while, this is a measure intended to try to weed some of the bad behavior. I'm all for it, to be honest.

When I joined I had to wait until at least 50 posts.

[Currawong]

What happens when you try? The system says you should be able to post there.

 

[Zangetsu]

I tired to post another for sale but it says "You are over your limit for posting this forum. Please check back later." 
 
In fact I have already had a post selling my spare cable and is closed now, what is the limitation for the second sales post?
