I am curious as to why I am blocked from certain forums on this site.
When I try to respond to a thread on the religious forum I get a message that says I do not have rights to post there.
I also am unable to do anything in the arcade or casino.
If someone else has had this problem how did you get it fixed?
If there is a moderator here would you please fix this.
I have only been posting here for a very short time and have not done anything to have rights revoked.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

me thinks there is a minimum post count for some forums. Perhaps 25 or so?

From Glock Talk's FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section:
http://glocktalk.com/forums/faq.php?faq=newmembers#faq_blockedforums
Why Can't I Post In Some Forums?
There are several forums here whose natures are so volatile that we have had to take extra measures to control them. The forums in question include:
* Cop Talk
* The Furball Forum
* Political Issues
* Civil Liberties Issues
* Religious Issues
* the AWOT Forum
The topics of these six forums are very controversial and are the cause of most of the problems we have to deal with here.
Much of the trouble in these forums is caused by people who have either been banned and sneaked back on the site, or people who are signing up for no other reason than to go to one of these forums to grind their axe. In an effort to help calm things down in these forums, new members here can no longer post immediately in these six problem forums.
How Do I Gain Posting Access To These Forums?
* A member must have been a member in good standing here for thirty days or more and have made at least twenty posts elsewhere on the site, or...
* A member must purchase either a general paid membership, or buy a one-time paid subscription that grants immediate posting access to these forums.
For more information on these paid subscriptions, please check here: http://glocktalk.com/forums/payments.php.
These forums are a small part of our site, but they are responsible for most of the problems we encounter. We are hoping this measure will help to prevent some of that trouble.

now that i'm becoming famailar with GT i'll offer some help. according to your profile, you've been a member since july 14th with 36 post. seems like you only need wait a few more days (aug 14)

This wait 30 days stuff is killing me. Its just like a waiting period to purchase a firearm. Don't restrict people until they've proven they can't control their actions.
The arcade is for those who have membership, the casino is open to all.

Is the Motorcycle Forum volatile?
I guess there is room for disagreement. (American vs Metric, Helmet vs. lidless, etc)
Anyway, being and avid rider AND shooter, guess I'll just have to wait.
