I was wondering if i could get access to post in other forums sections please.

[Ualaa]

I believe you will be able to, after five or so posts.
This is a forum, anti-bot spam thing.

ahh so i need to post in these forums 5 times?

seems weird i need to spam one forum section to get access to another....

do you know what i mean?

annnd 5

I was wondering about that as well, seems a little unclear what and where to post when I'd like to be on a game specific forum and don't really have beginner questions.

The reason for this, is we where having a ton of spammers coming in, and the powers that be where spending way too much time cleaning up threads. I know it's kind of tough on the new peeps, but after a few posts, you will be good, and it really helps the boards stay presentable.

Besides, if we all needed new Sneakers, jeans, Body enlargements, and money from Nigeria, we know where to go, and it isn't Dual Boxing.com.

I realize it's hard to see at the top of every forum but:

If you're lucky, an admin will see a nice friendly first introduction post and bump you up before 5 posts.

I saw that, but then after a few failed post attempts, had to dig around to the bottoms of each forum listing to find which one I was actually allowed to post on. Anyway i get it now, but took a bit

I suppose here's as good as any place for an intro to make me 5 posts? I don't see any "introduce yourself" thread but maybe I'm blind.

I've been lurking around for awhile. Started 2-boxing way back in EQ1 before anyone was really doing it. Then in DAOC. Never had any key cloners or macros, just multiple windows or old computers and madly swapping between keyboards. Kept up at least 2 boxing through tons of games, and finally found out that the keycloners were actually legal most places only recently. Thought that was pretty fun and it got me back to playing WoW for awhile with ISboxer. About to give RIFT a try and wanted to hop on the forum there try to meet up with other boxers.

Ahh! That makes a ton of sense -- maybe this bit could be added to the sticky at the top of all the forums?

It's explained in this thread: http://www.dual-boxing.com/announcement.php?f=15

It's essentially a spam bot protection as said above. I often manually adjust people that post because it's then obvious they're a legitimate account. I've missed this thread until now because of the terrible thread subject. For future reference, be quite descriptive and even call me out directly if there is something you want me to see. Or even PM me. Hop in IRC and say my nick in channel. Hell, IM me. I'm pretty accessible.
