Hello! In an effort to severely curb the amount of spam from bots the 'promotion' system was introduced where users must either complete one full hubwheel (aka achieve the ability to badge), get badged by an existing 'promoted' user, or get promoted by an existing 'promoted, before accessing the post feature. As a consequence, self promotion for new users is limited to comments until promotion. The trade-off is a cleaner global feed.

I see, thanks for explaining that to me. Glad it helped with spam.
