Why I cant post in the brand new research forum ?

I've tryied to start a research and...There is my name, last post : Nans DESMICHELS but, no thread !*

Why ?

You must approach William with your background and qualifications (not just academic), be selected for a research team, or as a team leader put forward a specific brief for a research project with specific outcomes, for approval.

I never follow this quite right. There are some new member status' and I cannot figure them out. Does 'scholar' status allow you to post in the research forum? What does 'writer' status entail. I do know what my fighter status means (and I like it) But would not mind adding scholar to my status..if possible.

What does the Fighter mean???

Writer = Collaborative Fiction poster
Fighter = Debate contestant
Scholar = Research Team member

As usual, your post was quite helpful. Thanks.
