I think you gave up reading what it says too soon, as it explains the exact issue you encountered, namely the part about 5 days.
Right now that applies to a lot of forums that you do not have the game registered for to override it, since there is no way to register a future game, then it is not currently possible to override the 5 day wait for new members to post in that forum.
The new software we are developing will make it possible that if you have any game registered it will allow you to bypass the 5 days in all forums.
Sorry the bots have made us resort to these extreme measures we are working to eliminate them.

Bots have beaten image verification for more than 9 months.
At least ones that target the top 20K sites.

The new system we have now is much better check the stats on the main forum index.
And our new permission system will allow any registered game to bypass the 5 day wait, so I think we are set.
