Yup, 5 posts. The system then does the promotion thing automatically every hour (25th minute to be exact).

This rule was added due to spammers occasionally sending mass PMs to random members immediately upon registration.

btw is this mentioned anywhere? I didn't even know about this stuff until now.

I think CrashandDie was referring to the post immediately prior to gill_za's post, that answered the question gill_za asked.

I've fallen into this trap as well. I'm very green, haven't got a device yet but looking to purchase one exactly when a PM would make sense.

Now I feel I have to post junk messages like this in order to 'prove' myself.

You don't have to "Post Junk". Remember this is a community forum where people are generally expected to have an input. It does not matter that you may not be a Linux guru, there are many questions on here answered by relatively new members relating their observations to a general matter.
If you have a genuine question posting it in the main forum rather than PM an individual person straight away will get it answered quicker and may help future members who .may encounter the same problem.
Everyone has something to contribute

Mmm, I lurked all these months/years and I missed 'the 5 posts rule'. Even thought people took away my privileges after the chinese debacle.
