That is not true for now. Every user can unlimitedly post (if his

The matter is that jboselkei is a medium for all Lojban= ists, freshmen
as well. It would be strange to demand from a newcomer to= translate
something into Lojban just to ask for assistance. jboselkei i= s thought
as a definite place to ask "How's that translated to Lojban?"=
questions. Everyone will have something as a reward: newbies -
knowl= edge, and experienced Lojbanists - glory and rating points ;)
