Welcome to the Org Lion_Pariya.

In the olden days, if there was a thread in a restricted forum that you wanted to participate in, you would post it here in the EH with a note referencing which thread you a commenting on and a moderator or maybe another patron would copy your post into that thread:

"New patron Lion_Pariya in the EH has this to say on the subject..."

Sure it is a little awkward, but if you really can't wait for promotion, then at least it is something.
