1 post per day for new members.
« on: October 19, 2008, 08:17:08 AM »
After you've been here a while, and have hopefully started seeing how everything works (like a year) then you get 2 posts.

It would vastly cut down on the spam, as new members would save that post for something worth talking about.

If HT was really good he could limit the number of replys as well. Although I'd expect they would get a few more of those.

Even if it was for the first 3 months, 1 post a day. 2nd 3 months 2 posts, etc. Till at the end of the year if you hadn't been a total pain you'd get unlimited status.

Just a wish for a calmer quieter AH message boards.  :)

And on the second post...  I forgot one other idea.  They can only be allowed to start one new thread a week.

But then new members would just make new names and make more post.

verdammt Glock!  Please do not game the game (forum the forum??)   Somehow I bet the ones Ghosth is speaking of would not have thought of doing that on their own.

just for my personal understanding..........

in this open forum composed of presumably free thinking minds

they have already limited what we can and cant discuss

they have limited the words we can and cant use

they have limited the types of pictures we can and cant post

now you want them to limit how many times a person can post

how many times they can reply to the post of others

and, if in the opinion of a judge of some sort, the new person says the things the judge likes to hear then the new person will be allowed to say more of it, and say it more often??

do you wear a monocle??

have a 1 inch mustache?

how about a fur hat??

i think i have heard of these kind of rules before......................

HIEL!


p.s. would this be the kind of reason you came up with your idea???

That might be abit too restrictive G,but I see the need for some kind of restriction.
 Maybe a quote and emoticon could be kicked!! stop spam and post count all in 1.
Or a charactor count minimum to suppress the needless posts.. no names needed!!

See how things work?? :lol

People that have been here for years make stupid posts and spam daily.
So what if a new guy asks for an airplane that's been asked for in the past, who is harmed by that?
If you think a subject isn't worth talking about don't read it. You have a choice on which threads you read.
If you want a calmer quieter messege board you can open your own at proboards.com and not allow anyone else in.
