Piggybacking on this post!
Look, I totally get why newbies can’t just waltz into the BST section and start posting. You have gotta prove you can color inside the lines and follow the timeline rules first. Fair enough.
What I’m struggling with is why the whole thing gets hidden from view completely, like it’s some classified government dossier. I’m sure there’s a solid reason (probably involving past chaos and regret), I just don’t know what it is yet.
I could be way off base here, but I’m pretty sure the #1 reason most fresh faces join is for used razor deals. Shouldn’t we let them ( me included selfishly

) at least browse the forum? Let us window-shop like civilized perverts. It expands the buying pool, and if someone sees something they like, they can slide into the DMs and do their proper due diligence.
Please don’t hate me. I know this is a touchy subject and I’m not trying to swan dive into the pool … just gently nudging it with my toe to check the temp.
