After five comments are approved, the server runs an update script once an hour, and that'll unlock your profile so that you can add text, upload a pic etc.

There are so many spammers and people trying to exploit our bandwidth to post their garbage, that we had no choice but to put this policy in place. It's a minor inconvenience that will only restrict you for a short time, and - as you note - you're already above the five comment threshold, so you've no restrictions on anything now.
I was wondering about this too. I feel bad that I've lost the time that I have been here before, seems I missed out on a lot of stuff.
Going to try and catch up as much as I could now and find the threads I been subscribed to.
Thank you for the information!
