I understand the reason for BPO/REO forum posting restrictions for new members, but for someone like me who has followed this forum for years, and the REO/BPO forum off and on for over a year, this is kind of frustrating.

I see members post about how proud they are, basically sharing their excitement with others, about their first REO, or a hard BPO they did good on and got the listing.

I finally signed up so I could introduce myself, and give some history on my BPO / REO past.

Is there any way to make an exception and put someone who asks on "probation" so they can post?

Or maybe give them a chance to post one topic as to allow them to introduce them self???

Just feels weird jumping in on other threads without introducing myself.

Just a thought.

I'm not out to abuse rules, and I've seen many people do it in many different ways while "trolling".

I finally signed up because I fee I am ready to contribute.

Just one introduction post?

I felt awkward too just "jumping in" on active threads but your reply made me feel better. Looking forward to learning from the "master veterans" in REOs/BPOs. Thanks, much appreciated.
