Id Like To Propose a new rule for admin to consider..

[JohnnyBB]

I Dont Know About anyone eles but threads by the 'newsbies' are pointless and a waste of time, im getting fed up by this an new members take no consideration in how they make threads, there threads are pointless or not thought about properly, therfore id like to propose to admin, that the new members that join tibb can only make a thread once they have reached atleast '50' to '100' post's this would save Tibb Staff alot of time, and would ensure we dont get alot of dodgey thread makers that hardley know the rules of tibb, i would ask admin to seriously consider this.

thanks :)

10 posts would even make a lot of difference.

[Iceman]

Moved to suggestions.

100 posts is a bit much, It might put genuine new members off

[InOne]

25 posts

Sounds fair. Plenty of douches will complain about being discriminated against because of their postcount but those people would always be douches. Plenty of forums have this feature and it means less one hit wonders, adverts, spammers, troll and fake insider threads etc.

I hate these people who can't seem to settle down and post in others threads that would cater to their needs. You have duplicate threads, people who seem to need a dozen threads to outline their full views on Big Brother presenters, people who seem desperate to constantly impress people with hillarious thread ideas etc.

It really would help with the spammers....

It really would help with the spammers....

definitely, It's a good idea but I think it needs to be less then 100 posts

Yeah, this is a good idea, will cut down on the spammers. 25 posts seems reasonable I think. I got more than 25 on my first day so it shouldn't be too much trouble for other new members.

[Maia]

It shouldn't be a high number because you do get genuine members who want to make a thread to introduce themselves when they first sign up - but definitely a good idea to have some sort of limit to stop all those annoying spambots.

[Vicky.]

10, or even maybe 5 could be enough really

But brilliant idea

[Shaun]

Wouldn't say any of your "my insider reckons _____" threads were much better :idc: but I agree if it would result in cutting out the spam-accounts.

[Jords]

Great idea, Id say 25 posts.

[Lewis.]

Brilliant idea... 25 seems a fair limit.

[Niall]

*Agrees with 25*

[GypsyGoth]

5 or 10.

[MeMyselfAndI]

5 or 10 defo, alot of Members will want to introduce themselves & 25 is too late

[Callum]

I like this idea, around 30 to 50 would be best.

[AJ.]

Good idea, 15 seems fair :) maybe there could be a intro forum or something though.

[Stu]

So ... about now would be a good time to bring the rule into play, yeah?

[Maia]

^ Was just about to say :tongue:

[CharlieO]

25 < seems far more fair now.

[Locke.]

1000

[JohnnyBB]

Thats great members Here Agree with me, In terms of how many post's a new members make before they make a thread can be thought about by admin, but i seriously hope they consider it.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Nicole_burks doesn't even have 25 posts, and she posts alot, i seriously think it should be 10.

[MTVN]

I think it might be better just for new members to need their first 10 posts approved by a Mod/Admin or something, otherwise someone might actually sign up with some genuine news or want to post an introduction thread or something and be unable to do so

[Josy]

I just posted about this in admin to make sure James knows about this thread.

[King Gizzard]

25 posts would allow you to get to know people ish before throwing your weight around, I like the idea..they do it on other forums I've been on (they also do it for such things like posting images and youtube links etc)

[James]

Umm, I don't agree with it. It would put new members off.

To give an example, if a guest / new member wanted to post a piece of info / opinion / news that wasn't already on the board, which might not fit in other threads, they'd be prevented from doing it.
