Thanks and enjoy the forum!

Then why leave a reply button on the post? Since this appears to have been the rule since 2014 I think it should explain the reason in the pop up message you get denying the reply, not that you may not have been granted access to the site yet. Or blocked by the administrator. A better more visible answer or reply would be nice. Maybe in a sticky at the start of the classified/wanted ads. Just my 2 cents.
