I posted a WTB post after getting disciple and my account is also more than 30days old. Yet my post was deleted and I am "marketplace restricted". Would appreciate if there is some clarity on what I did wrong or what I need to do.Try and guess how recruits are misusing the WTB section?

I don't know if it's the right place to ask.
There are no bump buttons for WTB threads.
Can I bump my thread once in 3-4 days?

Best to avoid bumping till it is added.
What to do if WTB thread slips down beyond 3-4th page?

Is there a wiki or a doc that explains what a new member needs to do before they can even post a reply on a thread?
Not looking for new members in Marketplace.
This is what the thread title says.

Got it. So the marketplace is a closed one for existing members, for both buying and selling. Desperately disappointing for users like me who are just looking to buy some hardware from reputed resellers...
I can see why the mods might have arrived at this decision - still disappointing, regardless!

Take part in the discussions, share ideas, guides, reviews — get to know about other like minded people as yourself.
The marketplace is for offloading, not deal swiping or profiteering. In a way, it has to be earned, and the most honest way to do that is to become part of forum as a valued member.
Everyone has some skill, some knowledge, some experience that can help others and by sharing that here, you become a part of the forum membership. The interests you share in your posts sparks creativity in other members.
I’m sorry if this is the wrong thread to ask but I posted a thread for buying firestick but that got deleted and I thought it was some kind of mistake or error but now when I again posted it is locked for further replies. May I know the reason why that happened because I am unable to find out.

edit: in your case, it could be because your last transaction in the marketplace did not go smoothly. The following may apply to other members:
I'm not part of the staff here, I just visit often enough to see patterns. This is my observation, not any official announcement:
The requirements to participate in the marketplace have been quietly raised by the admins to discourage opportunistic members.
By opportunistic members, I mean people who are interested in this forum only for deals and not for the sharing of knowledge.
By requirements, I mean the number of messages, number of reactions, and trophy points.

3+ months, 1 successful marketplace transaction and 40 messages (and I did get a leg up with a 1-month Patron upgrade!) later, I'm a disciple.
Thank you, sensei! Might bug you in the DMs with my homelab queries. Thanks again @rsaeon !
