Minimum Posts to use BST?

I have like 3 posts and would like to trade a handle for a handle.  Read the rules, at least the ones I could find, and didn't see a minimum post count to use BST.  

But I didn't get a 'post thread' button when trying to start a thread.  So how many posts do I need to use BST?

Thanks

Hi there eeyore one.It's a bit hidden but here's a cut and paste.Good luck with the trading.

"We've adjusted the settings so new users need to have 10 posts AND be registered on the site for 14 days before you can access the bst forum section and use the private messaging system.

This is in direct response to this: https://damnfineshave.com/thread-sadly-i-was-taken"

No problem, thank you.

it's in the forum FAQs: https://damnfineshave.com/thread-why-can...um-section

Thanks. I'm sure it cuts down on the riff-raff some.

Thanks.  I'm sure it cuts down on the riff-raff some.

I still get plenty of emails from people asking why they can't post in the bst section or send PMs.

Well yeah, I'm one of them. I'm such a doofus sometimes. I looked at the FAQ but the title didn't register, I wanted to post not respond.

But , would it see a wider audience if it was in the BST Rules? I read that like 4 times to find a minimum to use...

Hot dog I got 7 posts now!

Thanks for the thread. I was wondering the same thing and din't find a clear resource on this subject.
