Hmm... I thought the limit was five, maybe there is also a time limit? I on't know. Hopefully Keebler Sees your thread or your PM, and he can let you know.
Every new members gets a Private Message explaining the 5-post rule. I can't help it if you chose to ignore it It says therein that if you PM me, I will bypass it for you as soon as I'm online next (usually mere minutes, heh).
You do indeed get permission after 5 posts, but it is not instantaneous. It can take up to an hour after your fifth posts - the forum checks conditions to promote users only once per hour (at half-past the hour, if you're interested).
I see it has already run and you've been promoted appropriately since you posted this thread. Let me know if you have any more trouble.

Interesting solution. Would you drop me a pm[here or at pcperspective] and let me know how you do this? What specific modification?
Im curious.

Sure, I don't mind doing it in public, actually.
I grabbed a mod from vBulletin.org that forbids users from using links or images if they have < 15 posts.
Then, I renamed the default usergroup from "Registered" to "New Registered". I then created a new "Registered" group. I set up a promotion to move people from New Registered (default) to Registered after they have 5 posts.
Then, I hacked the above mod to check to make sure they aren't in the default (New Registered) usergroup rather than checking their post count.
The reason I did this is so that I CAN bybass it on a case-by-case basis by simply promoting them early. Otherwise, I'd have to artificially change their post count, which I didn't like much.
What kind of rules are these 
Plz enable this ..
