hi, i'm new to this forum and i have some questions to share. There's something about having to have 15 posts before being about to post in the marketplace, and i was wondering by posts does it mean "threads"? and i really wanted to reply to a thread but i couldn't and it was about 2 threads i found that were identical and was wondering if 1 of them was a fraud... they both had same picture same descriptions and 1 of the thread was significantly older than the other.

 

You don't have to start a thread to get a post count, however posts in certain sections of the site don't count towards your post count. The show'n'shine and newbie areas come to mind, I don't remember the others.
