Topic: Not allowed to Post Posted: 24-Jan-2009 at 02:48 |
Why am I not allowed to post in the Current Affairs forum? I tried to reply on a certain topic, then came the error, "You do not have permission to reply to posts in this forum".

So, what's the logic behind that rule then, is it to stop spammers or what ?

I'd suggest that it requires you to first demonstrate a genuine interest in history.

It has two purposes, first to ensure that the focus of the forum is on history. While current affairs is a natural offshoot of history we would prefer that it remains an offshoot and not dominant. The second purpose is to prevent people from signing up solely to discuss one current issue, by Trolling and Spamming.
