You can send a PM (personal message) to Fred, by clicking on his name, at the 'Moderated by:" link near the top right of most screens. OTOH, I expect you'll be better served by simply finding interesting threads and posting genuine comments. Posting rude, frivolous, and irrelevant comments can get yourself removed from the site.
This site is intended for sharing information on, in, about, and around photography. The B&S forum is provided as a service to regular members who want to buy/sell/exchange gear on an informal basis, without platform-based fees. Well, with fewer fees (e.g. PayPal). None of the B&S money goes to Fred or the FM site.
So, the B&S rules, esp. posting limits, are actually meant to make what you want do, more difficult. This prevents people from swooping in to buy or sell gear (and nothing else), which fits the profile of many ripoff artists, and does not fit the purpose and intent for this site.
Long story short, be patient and join the community. Otherwise; don't, and move on.

I think you missed the part where OP said he can't respond to a post in the Fuji forum, not B&S. I ran into the same issue, and it's indeed a bit odd that the site has some restrictions posting (anywhere) because you don't have enough posts. But I finally figured it out:
To the OP: as a new member myself, I've found that there is a peculiarity in responding to forum posts from a phone. If you try to respond and quote someone, it tells you you need 25 posts or more to participate in that forum, however if you respond to the thread with the "quick reply" feature at the bottom, it works fine. But then if you use a computer, it turns out you can actually quote people and reply like normal.
Maybe it's some sort of security thing. But through some trial & error I've now made some sense of it.
