I’ve run into a couple of issues that aren’t covered in the FAQ is there a specific category to discuss the Blender Artists platform itself? Off-topic doesn’t feel like the right place, as site improvements and development seem more important than offtopic. What do you think? new user cannot p…

Whatever personal issue with this user account status had appears to be solved, so I’m closing this thread.

[image] blenduser1: is there a specific category to discuss the Blender Artists platform itself? Your post is in Blender Artists Website Support, which is the correct category. my account was temporarily on hold right after registration. I hadn’t even posted anything yet. This is quite disc…

It’s Blender Artists Website support… i moved it. You might want to read about trust levels in the FAQ . The upload size is restricted to 5MB… (yes this is mentioned elsewhere :sweat_smile: ). Any process of user management is properly shown to the admins… and the crew is not that big in numbers…

Welcome to Blender Artists @blenduser1 :tada: [image] blenduser1: my account was temporarily on hold right after registration. I hadn’t even posted anything yet. This is quite discouraging for a new user. There’s no info on why it happened or what I should do next. I’d like to suggest that the …

But every site does have rules how you need to register until you can do “anyhing” you like… and especially the trust levels are part of the forum software used in a lot of other sites. One can not assume to have every right when “appearing on the scene”… :person_shrugging: For example if you look…

[image] blenduser1: Stack Exchange, unfortunately, didn’t respond to my question Hi and welcome to the BA forum. You came to the right place. I am sure that as soon as you are able to link/post your video there will be someone here willing to help you.

Looks like you already have been granted “Basic user” status so you should be good to go. :grinning:
