Yup. You're a new user so not trusted to do things. See 

https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/

It doesn't take much to get to Level 1 - I've got there already - but
all new users start at Level 0, which is heavily restricted "for safety
– both theirs and yours".

Perhaps it's just because I'm old and been doing these things a long
time, but the faux jolliness of all this really grates. This is what I
got on going up a level: 

   Hey there. We see you’ve been busy reading, which is fantastic, so
   we’ve promoted you up a trust level!
   
   We’re really glad you’re spending time with us and we’d love to know
   more about you. Take a moment to fill out your profile, or feel free to
   start a new topic.

And this whole "badge" thing - https://discourse.gnome.org/badges - I
just don't ****ing care.
