Wish there was a quicker way to get verified
I’d like to respond to a classified post but can’t view photos or PM.

Re: Wish there was a quicker way to get verified
Sorry, but we had problems with 'bots that would get registered and flood the forum with ads for all kinds of ridiculous stuff like male enhancement pills, Russian cement factories, bogus high end goods, etc. As a result we went to first a 2 post and now a 3 post requirement for "full membership".
I wish we could do otherwise, but if we let everybody in with one post we'd be swamped with junk.

Re: Wish there was a quicker way to get verified
Been on and off this site for around a year now, but have never commented. Decided I should start now so I can see classified posts again since I'm getting the "You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post." alert.
Thanks!

Re: Wish there was a quicker way to get verified
Speaking of three, you need one more post to be verified

Speaking of getting verified, this will be post #1. I’ve been lurking for a while… So I’ll go legit now.

Re: Wish there was a quicker way to get verified
There is only one requirement: make three posts that are approved by a moderator.
There' a sticky in the Announcements section:
viewtopic.php?t=41
I've thoughtabout making a bot or something that sends you a PM right away, but one of the things that is restricted is PMs, so that actually wouldn't help since new people wouldn't be able to see it.

Re: Wish there was a quicker way to get verified
I joined Trombonechat after purchasing my first trombone 2 weeks ago, and I am hoping to get verified so that I can see the photographs that have been posted in some of the threads I am reading.
This is my second post so far...
Thank you for helping me get to my goal

Hi all together, I am new to trombone chat and this is my second post to get verified.
The first one was in „Modification & Repair“ to the topic „RadialFlow“ valves.
Many regards from Germany

Hello from Iowa. Just posting here to get my second post. I'm a founding member of the Central Iowa Wind Ensemble and play with several other groups on occasion. Primarily bass trombone, but am working up my tenor chops these days as well.

Re: Wish there was a quicker way to get verified
I just registered yesterday and I'm pretty sure the instruction said you'll need two posts for full membership.
From the forum I learnt that you actually need now three posts.
Maybe the admins could update this info in the instructions?

I’ve been trying to lock down where it says two for a long time now. I thought I caught all of the instances. Do you remember where it said two?

I think it was on the page when you register and input all the info.
