Is it now working ?

I still can't ask questions, it says I need 20 karma. With 4 karma I cannot get anymore karma, I am stuck.

Seems that the changes were committed a few hours ago and I suspect you will see them in the forum shortly. https://github.com/odoo/odoo/commit/ef8099424d1db9ca0b94234b8877db65be335794

In order to fix the spamming issue in the forum, new forum rules are being applied.  It seems that a quick patch to help prevent new spammers from posting questions has inadvertently affected everyone.

Oh is it, good, but any idea when can we start posting questions...

It should work properly now, there was a problem with the Ask a question button on the index page. Note that you can directly access the ask page as well (http://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/ask), which was working properly. We hope to deploy the new email activation mechanism today, and finalize the karma levels at the same time.

I have 4 karma and _was_ able to ask questions weeks ago. Not so, since yesterday, neither on the forum, nor using the ask page directly. From @deeps answer, I gather, that asking questions trigger activation by e-mail. I suppose, I am out of luck until this mechanism is implemented and have to wait patiently?
