I understand, and agree. But for the moment, it seems to be the best tool we have against the spammers. Feel free to reply here. Tell us about your car. I'd like to help make this as painless as possible.

Thanks!

I really don't see why it's an issue, you can't find 5 useful things to say, so you spam the forum with useless posts?

Please accept our apology for such inconveniences. As tixer stated, it is simply one of several tools we use to help control spam. We welcome guests to view our forums and share in the vast knowledge of our community of enthusiasts of the Lincoln brand. The intent of the post limitations is to make the forums a better place to be.

I realize you don't see it as an issue, that is because our measures have proven to be helpful in battling hundreds of spammers per day. As an open public forum, we are literally under attack every hour of every day from spam. We are always seeking to strike a balance between user friendliness and keeping the forums free of such unwelcome visitors.

I TOTALLY agree with the admins. I am working on my 5 posts, and this is a small inconvenience (and a great tool) in maintaining the integrity & quality of this forum. I have seen great forums destroyed by spammers. A+ to admins for being pro-active in avoiding spammers before it becomes an issue.....!

We mods and admins do spend an inordinate amount of time dealing with controlling spam, for probably the last 2 years or so. So the admins do their best with the tools at hand to make our jobs easier while keeping the site user friendly.

Please feel free to be more specific about what you are looking for, or as stated, tell us more about you and your car.

It really has gotten much more difficult to balance ease for users of the site versus controlling spam (which our users don't like either).
