But from the looks of things new accounts can (since I can see someone who posted just twice seems to be able to see links). Could someone please unhook me from the naughty corner? |

Simply requesting a change of status probably won't get you what you want. Participating in the community, however, just might! |

Were you expecting something else? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,921 Member No.: 20,929 Joined: Oct 14th 2006 Location: Some place in South-East Asia | tl;dr: links are for accounts that have been active for a while. Make a few legitimate, non-spam posts a day, and the holy IDW webcode will see fit to grant you access to links. As for how many posts or how many days of posting, pretty much no one other than the owner of this place knows. But just be active without spamming, and you're set. Some stellar newcomers have attempted the spamming route with hundreds of worthless posts, but let's just say that didn't get them anywhere. |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 18 Member No.: 28,518 Joined: Jan 29th 2008 Location: Update Profile | Yes, I agree. Sarcasm aside I am genuinely only confused about my old account and whether it fell into some "legacy" policy. I've been in and out of these boards from time to time over the years, just haven't posted much. I've resolved the confusion over on Discord anyway.

No action required |

Actually there was a lot of action, just all in the background. Then it was reversed because Perry agreed that being lazy about the issue at hand and allowing a dupe account was better than actively fixing what was legitimately wrong with DJ Mike's account. | ||
