resteeming this, I ran into the same issue and I could not find a good article as to why it was happening and what contributed to it and what I could do.

They really should state that its expected you purchase SP (50-100 bucks worth) in order to actually use your new account when you are signing up, if you are coming to the platform expecting a free space to express yourself and engage, you're not getting that.

It would take a FTP (free to play) account probably half a year of frustrating posts to make enough SP to get actually rolling. Very deceptive, they should be blatant like EA and the Battlefront launch .... we all hated it but at least we knew how bad they planned to screw us
