I've already posted 3 forum posts, but why cant I enter any blog or dynasty entries

[kpeltz96]

I've made 3 forum posts and I still can't make a dynasty or blog entry for some reason.

Its a number, what number exactly? That's not going to be made public. Continue to be active and you'll be capable of using the blog and dynasty.

I was having the same issue. Thanks for the information av7.

This is really annoying to be honest. I came here for a specific purpose that required making a thread. I didn't realize I had to make token posts and wait a week to do so.

Then perhaps you should actually read the TOS you agreed to which contains:

New User Posting
All new users have a 'probationary period' in which they will not be able to create new threads or send private messages to other users. You must reply to threads until this period is finished. The period is a set number of days AND a set number of posts. These numbers are not disclosed, as we do not want people posting just to get past their probationary period.

Also it's not about making "token" posts. It's about being part of the OS community and not a drive by poster who usually has an outside agenda.

Have to be honest, this is a bit frustrating for me. I like using Operation Sports' forums, reading information on here, etc, especially about slider sets and rosters for NCAA. However, I'm pretty new to the series, and I don't often have a lot of helpful things to say on a topic. There have been a couple of times, though, where I have wanted to ask questions about the game on the forums, but couldn't, because I could only reply to threads, and I wasn't interested in derailing a thread with a tangentially-related question. It's a well-intentioned policy, for sure, and I'm sure it keeps out a lot of one-and-done posters, I guess for a usually quiet lurker type like me I happen to be caught on the wrong side of it.

Every game usually has a Q/A thread already or an impressions thread where you can ask a question about the game. Don't really need a new thread popping up for each question.

The staff is just trying to keep this place from going crazy with spam and needless threads. Like Skyboxer said, use the Q/A threads for something or reply to one of the threads in Steve's Forum. Even when you can post threads, I would still use these strategies first.
