Been trying to start a thread for 30 minutes, every time it has been denied on accounts of "being a new member including a link, or spamy words". As there were no links, I assume it was the former. I've tried deleting just about every word in the post I've thought of that might be the culprit, still a no go. Could we get a list of words we aren't allowed to use or something please?

Sorry, I don't have a list of words that do and don't count. The system uses an algorithm that prevents everything from specific words to specific phrases. The software is intentionally strict to prevent spam bots (which we've had serious trouble with in the past) from easily being able to circumvent it.

I apologize for any trouble it may be causing. The restrictions are auto-lifted once you hit double digits in posts.

Thank you for the help. So, hang out on the site a bit more, and after ten posts, it should go through?

Correct. Again, sorry for the trouble. Not something we wanted to enact in any way.
