"We're changing the criteria which allow you to contribute to our forums. From this point on, to post in the majority
of forums sections will require you to have "BACKER" or "READY"
status on your account. This means an active game package on your account will be necessary to post on the forums,
Community Hub, and Issue Council. Those without Backer or Ready status on their accounts may still access and read the majority of the forums."
