Off Topic Why are some threads hidden?

Just keep posting on off topics guys, you will get there!

It makes sense - to stop them from getting removed...

Damn I thought i just had to wait a couple weeks for my account to be able to see them

Is it only post count that matters to get access? or also reaction score?

[oliver21a]

Is it just post counts that mater?

Feel like the tipping point to seeing threads that are restricted is 11 posts;no idea if upvotes are also meaningful or not .
