Introductions are in order, I suppose.

I'm Kefke, and if there's one thing I'm good at, it's whinging. I will whinge about anything and everything. The weather? RNG? Tutorials with too much information? Tutorials with too little information? You name it, I can rant about it. Complaining is humankind's most ancient tradition, with written complaints being recorded as far back as ancient Babylon. I think that means that I'm keeping one of mankind's oldest traditions alive.

What, that's not a good enough reason to be here? You object to my use of the term "mankind" too? Kids today, absolutely no respect. Why, when I was half my age, I had to live twice as long to get where I am today...

Fine, I'm also an avid gamer, with an interest in romhacks in particular. I both play and run a lot of tabletop roleplaying games, and so I naturally have a lot of interest in games with RPG mechanics, though my favourites are actually Action-RPGs and Metroidvanias. I despise the term "character action game" as being the most generic and uninformative term ever coined, not to mention being cumbersome to say. I will instead use the term "Spectacle Fighter", coined by Yahtzee Croshaw. Also, my favourite console is the Dreamcast, and my favourite game for the Dreamcast is "Skies of Arcadia".

Hopefully that covers actual credibility as a gamer.

Today, I have something to complain about!

I can't send private messages or post links until I meet an arbitrary post threshold. Really? How is that supposed to cut down on spam. Seems to me, it would more do the opposite. Now I have to make a bunch of inane, meaningless posts to artificially inflate my count above the cutoff. I just want to get some technical assistance, but I can't send them the files to see what needs done, or even post a link. Ridiculous!

Yupper, I get your frustration. Every newcomers now pay for having deal with way too much spam from either bots, angry banned members making tons of new accounts to post gore/fetish porn, and being an overall difficult to contain problem quickly.

A bunch of forum posts isn't too bad of a deal, considering what it has prevented, plus you would have the chance to share a few posts with the community :)

By some massive twist of irony, that post bitching about the post limit was actually what put my account over the post limit.
The spam protection is the lesser of two evils.

Sure it prevents real new users from posting helpful links and pictures and PMs for a short time… but honestly seeing this "eternal youth for your skin", "curing male sexual dysfunction", "repair your love", "super special diet" or "black magic specialists" as text only messages is enough.

I've even seen an offering for counterfeit money once.

Anyway: Welcome and have fun.
