Hi. Is there anyway a new SR vendor can have an exemption to the 50 newbie posts rule? I'd like to set up an official thread and samples in the Rumor Mill. Would belonging to the Vendor Group allow posting?
I've searched previous posts, which weren't definitive on the exact rule.
Any help is much appreciated.

Don't think so. Spend 25 minutes and spam the 50 needed posts. It will be the least of your hurdles as a vendor.

ok...thanks for the reply.

Unless you've been around for a few months and have 35+ transactions, you need to go ahead and do the 50 posts here.

Is not. Should be.

If a vendor has been around vending for a few months and has 35+ transactions, they can bypass this 50 post requirement. Otherwise, they need to do what everyone else does.
However, that's not necessarily a bad thing because new vendors can still advertise their products here in the Newbie section and start a review thread here so new members can buy & review their products too.

no

understandable. Was a bit confusing at first because as a new vendor you want to promote your product on the forums but arent able to post ...but yeah, starting to promote in the newbie section is a good point and makes sense. thanks for your help.

For sure -- and I understand the confusion/concern. This is a very new policy, so everyone is still getting used to it.
The best use of your time in the newbie discussion board is to ask questions, answer questions, and if you are a vendor, start letting people know what you are selling and give new members a place to put their reviews. :)
