do you honestly think someone goes,
"OH, If there was only 20 spam post's i had to do i would do it and spam the forum, but 50? that would take a extra 30 minutes, NAH ill stop and be good"
-
well leat you got farther than me.. im still trying to figure out how to download a wallet to my pc that dosent take long im using surgeforce and them blocks are on 14hrs of download.. where did you download your wallet?
-
Mmm.. to the OP: "Stop whining"

That has nothing to do with the topic.
Maybe the newbie forum is necessary.
I'm not sure how I feel about the 50 post rule, on one hand I generally only posted when I had something useful to say before the rule, on the other hand at least all of the spam bullshit is confined to the same board so once you hit 50 you don't have to wade through so much bullshit. I think 50 is a decent number for it though, more as a deterrent, it just sounds way more taxing to spam 50 posts than it does to spam 20. So hopefully people give up on the spamming and actually contribute with some decent posts.

it's too much
-
its bullshit! Im a buyer for ca 1 year and not every day at the forum underway. the buyer who have very good stats they have an 25 post rule or something
-
50 is a bit much...they should just require less or require 3 transactions or something...
-
Agree.
50 posts is crazy. People ends publishing shitty / spammy comments just to get up to that.
-
Stop bitchin'
-
Definitely bullshit....there really isn't any benefit to it at all.
-
yes yes yes
-
50 posts is too dammn high!

-

Right of passage to the promise land
This is so true. In my mind, the 50-post requirement is a right of passage. This can also be seen as another barrier to entry, along with the difficulty in getting BTC & finding the SR in 1st place. We obviously can't just let a floodgate open & everyone in at once. Of course there will be those who spam to get around the post-limit. But for me, I'm gonna be doing this the old-fashioned way: actually reading thru the forums, and posting on topics. Contributing to conversations. Giving and gaining knowledge. The 50-post count will actually be useful for me, b/c otherwise my personality is one that would probably just lurk around. But now I'll actually be posting more :)
-
seems right to me.
it's a nice block to lamer/troll/etc and spambot
-
I do NOT think 50 posts is too high. It forces you to actually start participating in the discussions. Even if you have nothing to offer, you will learn some new things; keep up to date with news; provided you at least read what is posted.

Someone can easily just bullshit 50 random spammy posts and be done with it.
-

-
i never post on forums this much.
if it wasnt for that captcha it would not be to bad.
but at least its not like the google captcha.
I dont use anything google anymore by the way.
I could not make it out for nothin. maybe after 3-4 tries

I think it's perfect. It probably keeps lots of the riff raff out that wouldn't contribute at all. It's like any type of college or school . . . you need the paper.
