New user cannot vote in feature requests

[RedStabilo]

I've just registered on this discourse to weigh in on some changes in Pi-Hole. Sadly this was useless as I cannot vote in feature requests or post at all in that subforum.

It's beyond my understanding why such a thing would be limited for new users. It's a second disappointment after some changes in Pi-Hole I am not happy with.

Could someone explain why I'm not allowed to vote or reply in Feature Requests?

This is correct.

Without going into too many details, there are limits in place to prevent drive-by voting/gaming the system

How to submit a feature request? or rather: a suggestion for how to better label it how you can submit one

There are couple of ways to do this. (1) Spend some time browsing the site to increase the trust level the system gives new users, or (2) Post it in the general topic, and one of the moderators can convert it to a feature request after review.

Thank you so much. Apparantly i've taken enough time on this board to be trusted to vote, which i've done already
