I feel this system needs to be revised a little.

As of now I am unable to post anymore in the Art sub forum because of my recruit status which is a real bummer.
Any chance the sub forum Art Work can be opened for recruits ? Can't see the harm done that it is closed off.
As for the Pm's . I guess I can live without it.
Thanks

I'm shocked that this is not the case to begin with.

This forum is for a game -- it isn't a standalone forum. It makes sense that you can only post in certain sections until you play 25 matches. It prevents spam accounts without giving moderators the extra work of policing for spam posts.
You've been here since December of 2011 but haven't played 25 matches? This isn't a general BattleTech/MechWarrior forum like the Classic BattleTech forums and others. It's directly related to this game only. I have to ask -- if you cannot play the game, why hang around here?

EDIT: well now it shows as Member, checking my forum profile from my last post it still showed recruit, strange.

The one above your chosen faction symbol (if any) is the user title. It will display recruit as long as you do not have at least 10 posts on the boards. It's meaningless in function. From time to time there might be an opportunity to earn a custom title, but those are very rare.
The one below the chosen faction symbol (if any) but above your post count is the group title. It will display a recruit title in light blue as long as you haven't played 15 matches in MWO. After those 25 matches it will automatically switch to the member group. As long as you are in this recruit group your posting abilities are limited on the MWO forums.
Don't worry, I just noticed that a few days ago myself and didn't know before that the user title changes as well.

Something along the lines of: "You must play 25 games to remove this tag. Click here to view your forum limitations." Or even hovering over the word Recruit or Rookie could bring up a little tool-tip that says what you can do to clear it, etc?
Gatta admit, things like that help clear up issues right away and prevent confusion like this. But I dunno haha just a thought. I guess the time to implement it vs the benefit it gives isn’t worth it?

By that logic, why does anyone watch football?
All I have ever played is the PC games....I know virtually nothing about table top Battletech. I find this PC stuff interesting. Once I am able to and once the game supports the options I want, I will begin to play...not that my motivations are any of your business.
