I never seem to be able to find the forum rules when I want them....I think it's the number of posts. I think new users have to post at least 10 times before they can do chat or have a signature.
Sorry I can't point to where that's at (or even if I'm not remembering it exactly right).
Edited to add:
Naturally, I found them after I posted. They're at the BOTTOM not the TOP of the pages. It's not as specific as I thought. From the Guidelines:

11. New Member Restrictions
We have found it necessary to add certain anti-spam measures. They include restrictions to new user registrations. For example, new members cannot set up a signature and they may not manually add an in-post signature to their posts.
These restrictions are lifted automatically once a new member has proved to be a member with good intentions (which directly correlates to number of posts and length of time as a member).
