To help prevent spam, page vandalism, and keep contribution quality high, we require most new users to complete a few steps prior to upgrading their account (allowing editing).

New users should complete these steps to get upgraded to "confirmed-users"

1) Verify your email account. The system will send you a link to click through. If you missed this email, then visit your Preferences page to fix your address or resend the verification email.

2) Fill out your user profile with some very basic information in your bio or a link. Click on your username at the top of this page. Select the "Edit" tab to go to the form.

3) Use one of the discussion pages to add a new discussion or reply to an existing discussion.

4) Contact an administrator with the reasons you would like to be able to edit/contribute. They don't have to be fancy, just honest.

5) Your account will be upgraded.
