Title: Am I a noob now?
Post by: Psychonaughty on January 19, 2013, 07:21 am
I can not reply to posts or start topics anywhere anymore all of a sudden, except for here.

Why? Is there a new number of posts count rule or something?
If so then where can I read about it and how many posts do I need in order to reply in other topics again?

Yes 50, so you are almost there.  And I'm guessing its a hundred to give karma.     I kind of think it should go by time as a member and posts combined.   Would make a little more sense.

Why is everyone so upset about this? I mean if you were posting all that much you would already have 50 posts and it wouldnt apply to you anyway!

well some of us like to post quality--not just quantity--and when we do post those few times--it would be nice to let the community decide our 'rank' in the system i.e. by the quality of our contribution--not by the count of our entries--its all good--

Easy answer: because 99% of the forum became unusable.

Where was there a notice of this? I would have at least expected a pm about it.

And what will people with new accounts do? Spam shit posts in order to use the forum?
As a method on the btc sell shit spam?

This is not a logical solution.
SR also had some problem and pics of vendors had btc addresses in them.

Starting now I am officially worried that SR is what they claim to be. which is being technically of high quality.
This is a new method, besides already having to type the fucking capchta every time.
On some drugs those can not be read anymore and then posting something is a nearly impossible task.

How will people give a review on the forum now, if they first need to get 50 posts?

I personally stuck to a couple of threads and would mainly post reviews from orders where they belong. This post limit keeps me from being able to do that. I really don't want to post reviews of products or vendors in the newbie section. I feel people would get more use from reviews when they're in the threads they're suppose to be in. At least it makes it more convenient for people, right?

Wonder how long this will last. Don't think the admins would keep it if the community rejected. Although, perhaps it's a better idea to weed out spammers using the newbie section.

Absolutely, the 50 posts rule is a good one for exactly that reason. Weeding out spammers. I'm doing my best to get to 50 organically, but I must confess I occasionally usethe SPAM HERE TO GET TO 50 threads :/

50 posts mean you have presumably read some posts, which means you may have accessed information and perhaps even learned something. information=knowledge=power.

The terrible truth is, once you hit 50, they don't really send you off to The Island.  They harvest your organs.
