I need to comment on post before I can make a post for whatever reason, so sorry
NO, you do not need to make any comments before starting a new topic.
New users need to spend at least 10 minutes reading 30 or more posts in 5 or more topics to increase their trust level to Basic. Once that has been accomplished the forum software assumes you are not a spamming bot and you can start new topics, post pictures, etc.
