Sucked when I couldn't as well! D:

Yeah, it'd be nice if it was two or three posts just so they know you're not a bot, then you can rate stuff. But, oh well.

It'd also be great if profile posts counted.

We had an issue where new members would get on and spam likes. To combat this we added restrictions. You can view them in discussion if you wish. ;p

It took me 3 days.

I see, that makes sense I guess.

At the time, we didn't know how to combat the profile likes by removing it but now if you a user does it, all their likes given can be removed via the forum admin.

Yeah, I remember on the MT forums back when we still had negative ratings there, having to go through and remove 200+ spammed ratings a few times. It was not pleasant to say the least.

Yeah, it gets ridiculous sometimes.

*Like* (Because I can't rate anything yet)
