I find it annoying when you just want to share a challenge you have created, but you need to do so much before you can post discussions on here ;-;
Hello @ResSteel
It is to try to prevent spambots from causing issues in the forums. It also encourages sims to learn more about the forums, and the different forum sections.
Keep posting on the different threads and sections of the forums and you will soon get the points/posts. The off topic section is a good place to post.
You will soon get the required points and posts if you also post about your simming experiences on threads that you are interested in the thread topics.
Reading and posting on threads in the Stories and Legacies section is great. The simmers there would appreciate your feedback on their Stories and their legacies.
I've been a member for three years but have never used the new forum (I used to use the sims 3 forum back in the day) I can't change my profile pic yet (I only have 30 points) - but it is currently an old photo of me - I want to change it as I know it's against the rules to share personal information/photos etc. So I need to post stuff to get my points up to change it but at the same time if I post it's kind of like I'm sharing the photo, so not really sure what to do....

I cannot find a place to create a new thread in this forum. Can someone help me figure that out?
Hello @jennyhyun Welcome to the forums!
There is usually a blue new discussion button at the top right hand side of the screen in the forum sections. But new discussion threads have been restricted for new members. You are unable to start a new thread until you become a full member. This has been brought in as a result of spambots.
You need to have 50 points and 30 posts before you can become a full member and can then post pictures, have a signature, start new threads, edit posts , post links that show up correctly and change your profile picture.
You receive a point each time another simmer presses like or awesome or insightful on a post that you have posted. Keep posting on the different threads and sections of the forums and you will soon get the points/posts. The off topic section is a good place to post.You will soon get the required points and posts if you also post about your simming experiences on threads that you are interested in the thread topics.

I don't understand why @Hollyyyy can't just delete her personal picture or why an Admin does not do it for her
It's pretty obviest that she could once add a profile picture as seen, and now she can't even at least delete it until she has 30 posts??
That makes no sense, sorry. She just want to delete her PERSONAL picture! and not post around with her personal picture shown *SMH*
„ - Criticism may not be agreeable, but it's sometimes necessary - “
Yes Rose, that would be worth a try. Although I still don't understand why she can't at least delete it her self. That should in her case at least be possible to have the option to delete the pic that she had once been able to add.

They probably can't just enable the delete picture without enabling the whole change profile picture for new members. So it's best if the person asks one of the EA_staff members to send them a PM or ask them on the EA_staff members page to delete their profile picture. Simsgurus/staff members have removed profile pictures before from other members profiles because they went against forum rules.
I understand why it's like this, but I wish I could see the list of badges. When I click on the link it says I don't have permission to look. I'm not far off my 30 posts now, but I have no idea what I can do to earn points.

Hello @maice
It looks like the badges information has been removed. I am getting the same no permission message as you are.
Lisasc360 has posted in the first post of this thread what the badges require. It is in the quoted section.
There has though been a few changes since she wrote it. There is no LOL button.
@Maice, since the link isn't working properly, I will post what badges that we can get here as it has changed since I made that list up a while ago and we don't have the "lol" button anymore.
Badges for The Sims Anniversary
1st Year = 5 points
2nd Year = 5 points
3rd Year = 5 points
4th Year = 5 points
5th Year = 5 points
6th Year = 5 points
7th Year = 5 points
8th Year = 5 points
9th Year = 5 points
10th Year = 5 points
Ancient Membership = 5 points
The Miscellaneous Badges
Combo Breaker = 5 points
Name Dropper = 5 points
Photogenic = 10 points
@lisasc360 Thank you, it looks like the original list was mostly accurate. I thought there must have been a slew of badges I was missing out on. Thank you for posting the list.
[quote="Katie123;c-16046028"]thank you for introducing the basics!! very helpful :) [/quote] I still find this forum member point method to be archaic, and more likely to encourage lurking rather than an active and friendly community atmosphere. Currently haven't noticed any bugs of note, as I haven't had very many packs to work with, causing a slump in builds.
You can search for my builds with EA Account ID: MASTERDARKWINGZ
No longer taking build requests/questions, sorry.
@EA_Lanna or @EA_Mage, can either of you see why we can't have access to the Badge page like we used to be able to do? When trying to access the page, it tells us that there is a Permission Problem. http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/badges
