    I am a junior member, and I am wondering why I can view the backroom, but not post there. Can someone please explain to me why that is?

    I got to admit, I am interested to know the answer as well.

    My guess is that it's only senior members who can post there, but anyone can view it.

    Once you're a member you can. It makes it so that if people want to sign up just to argue on the Backroom, it can't happen. This is a Total War forum first, and everything else second.

    We had a problem a couple of years back with gun control people coming here and ruining the forums because of the constant gun threads and abuse in the backroom. For this reason and others similar, it is for people who have shown that they are sensible and deserve membership status.

    Of course as well as what Colo said too.
    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    It doesn't go on number of posts - it is based solely on the quality of what you write and the way you treat others (or so I believe)

    ^^^^^ Is totally correct.
