The person(s) to ask would be @Jedi_Master or @proffrink
if you can't contact seller directly, then perhaps see if you could leave a message
or ask a question in the advert itself & then seller might be able to reply/pm you
The reason why restrictions are placed on newly created accounts
is coz otherwise AF-UK gets a load of shit spam offering fake ID's, exam certificates
Viagra etc... etc... etc...
So I'm guessing the restriction on contacting members regarding ads
is to avoid potential spammers & scammers bombarding sellers etc...
yes it is a pain perhaps, but I've seem other forums for other subjects/interests
impose a couple of hundred posts before you can even see classified ads section
we still get the odd spammer/scammer sign up
but thanks to some restrictions, the clean up & moderating is lessened
(but must still be a pita for mods to deal with at all sorts of weird hours)
make some posts, introduce yourself, talk about crap
not just to bump your post count up, but also to demonstrate your genuine interest in peew peew
to show to mods/members you are not just joining to buy toy guns from people
get posting, but not spamming/shit posting (that's my job btw)
contact/ask people but don't pester them - await a response
& eventually AF-UK will recognise you without restrictions etc...

Try telling this guy - This is the current state of play in the New Players section. Over 100 posts in that section, nothing of note outside of it.

If this isn't deliberate post-count bumping, I don't know what is.

To what end though? There's no post restriction for contacting sellers - the restriction is on content per day. If you spam status updates and posts then you're going to have a tough time doing stuff that you actually need to (at least for your first 10 days). There's a huge warning about this in the header if you're a new user.
As far as post padding goes: This is done by such a tiny minority of people that I'm not sure it matters. Report people who are taking the piss after their first 10 days though perhaps
I've sent you a PM about this. Apologies for the hassle.
