Your post count shows up under your avatar. Look at all the posts you've posted, and it's listed right under your join date. Right now, it says you've posted 13, so you've still got a few more to go.

I am trying to post a wanted ad in the classifieds. But every time i click on the button to start my own classified it says im not allowed to and tell me to refer to the forum rules. But i cant find the forum rules. Then i read some different posts saying that you have to post a certain amount of times to be able to do certain things??!! Is this true?! Why is this so confusing?? And frustrating...? Please someone help!

The BST rules here in the BST section has lots of info

You need to have 20 posts in order to place an ad.

Thats kind of ridiculous... Why is that the rule?

To try and avoid people joining the site just to sell is my best guess. They want people to be active members of the group before listing ads.
