Hey look, it's christianlee27 (again)

Ectar: It has nothing to do with forum "security" and nothing is hacked.  Anyone can post on the forums after they create an account.  Most sections of the forums have a 50 battle requirement before someone can post. The exception to this is the newcomer section (as it makes no sense telling players they have to play before they can ask questions).  As the forums structure was changed recently, the restrictions weren't set (which I'm off to do now).
