I also agree it should go by time registered on boards.

It should be based solely on kill to death ratio.

I reckon limit to 1 wishlist topic per week, for everyone. stops the noobs spamming and shouldnt effect the vets.

its a WISHLIST for cryin out loud....

A) theres no such thing as too many or bad ideas...... just ones you may not like....... if a complete noob had a brilliant idea Im sure it would be considered...... whereas if someone "experienced" had a horrible idea Im sure it wouldnt be considered

B) you could be here 2 days and be a Platinum member...... so wtf does post count have to do with experience or knowledge......... just means you like to post a lot

C) wouldnt this thread meet the criteria for threads youre trying to eliminate?

Everyone that disagrees has less than 4 stars.  :rofl

The unintended consequence would be the massive spamming of the other forums to get a post count high enough to post wishes here for the B-29.  :devil

Time on this board doesn't make you more intelligent or your ideas and wishes any more valid than a new member's.
A lot of the spamming if not the majority of it is done by children in need of attention or seeking instant acceptance.
Why punish new members who may have solid ideas or contributions because of a few kids misbehaving?
Besides the name of this forum is the wish list.. Let em wish all they want.

Should be a ratio of time registered to post count.

If you have to high a post count to time here.... no post for you. :devil

Love the idea, by the time on the bbs method, but it would only mean they'd clutter up the General Forums with their wishes instead unless you applied the limit to the whole bbs. If you did that, then we'd see all their nonsense on channel 200 in the game.

So no unfortunately, keep the newbs posting in here instead of the other forums or in-game.

Karnak, there is a difference between having a good idea, and posting it.

And having 3 - 5 lousy ideas, and posting them.

Ideally they'd still be able to post 1 or 2 a month.
And the ones we saw would be worth reading.


Inexperience often leads to early misunderstandings about the game, thus their good idea is likely to seem no more worth posting than their bad ideas and thus if they only get one or two posts they are likely to blow them on the bad ideas leaving the good one to rot.

Really, how hard is it to ignore B-29 or Do335 requests?

So for example copper members with 2 stars could post 2 wishlist threads per month.

This lets us see more threads from older experienced hands.
Leaves us fewer threads by those new to the game to wade through.

After all, whats the point of putting in all the time if rank gains no privilege?



Some Copper members have been here for quite some time  :old:   ;)

I hate to point out the obvious, but there might be an issue of quantity vs quality.
