Title: I can't understand
Post by: TheLostHermit777 on April 13, 2013, 02:29 pm
Why the flip we need to reach 50 posts? A spammer could just spam the newbie forum, then continue to spam the main forums.

I guess so IF you DO spam, we know, and IF you make some good noob posts ... there ARE some good/sensible topics to add to, you might eevn get some +karma to help you on your way  ;)

 Ask yourself "how would I feel, what would I do wha I come here for (quality) information and get 'spamsers' instead of 'answers?'

Look up a dude named phoboss .... the site spammer   :o  ....  and you'll see  :)

welcome and take care, check ALL vendors on the forum and NEVER FE (Finalize Early)  you'll learn the hard way if you dont listen to the more experienced members .... and I'm hardly a vteran of the road, but I've spent MANY hours on these forums

I agree with you TheLostHermit777, I think they should open up at least a few other forums for newbies to post in, such as perhaps technical support and rumor mill, to allow more reason to post and give newbies a chance to express their opinion. After all, how many scammed newbies do you think were unable to post in a rumor mill thread because of this rule?

It's not. There are people who have bots (BitSwing) that mass post here. They're limited to the number of forums where Newbies can post because they don't want to invest the time in getting to 50 posts first.

It's not a difficult hurdle, just enough to discourage bot spammers.

Good point. I think the limit should be reduced to 10, after all there's post verification so spambots can't post. Then after 50 posts, lift the verification.

THAT IS WHAT the vendors feedback is for.....you can write a fuckin essay IF you like?

 As for "automatic FE"  hmmm I dont think so, BUT if that truly DID occur (and wasn't 'operator error' It happens MORE than you can imagine :o) then report it to SR support...that's what they're there for  ;)

As for the lost hermit .... Duuuuude! You ONLY JOINED TODAY and you're ALREADY TELLING FOLKS "how the forums should be run!"  :o wtf?

It's dudes like you that cant hack it and bail ... and are already spamming with shit like this Oh mr SR Learned One after 10 mins ....

Hey, I've got an idea....go buy some of Ron Pauls "Sick !KG MDMA/LSD  synths"  and make your own drugz   8) .... they're a steal  ;)

You have to wait for the product to be moved to in-transit.

Maybe the requirement is so that assholes like me won't spam the regular forums with noobish questions... ha ha... I've actually learned a thing or two on my way TO THE TOP OF THE FIFTY MOUNTAIN.

exactly Atr3yu ...keep it relevant and her's you're first +1 for making that realization AND sharing it for other to 'get' as well ....there's a reason or two in this 50 post shit ...bullshit gets buried fast!  The threads with good info gets lots of views and replies and stay alive on the boards, and might just earn a good post some karma, as those whose karma has risen in this thread made a good  post and got by one was from me!

Go hard folks!
