Confusion about access from new members in the Lobby

[thelerner]

This was being discussed in the lobby but I thought I'd bring it up here. I guess there's a new rule that newbies have to post a few times in the lobby before getting access to the whole site.

 

Is that correct? If so, how many times and how clearly is it stated? I understand the need for control against spambots, but I hat to turn off potential members. It seems at least a few people in the lobby are unclear. Actually so am I.

 

Thanks
