Yea, I saw michelle bump a post where the OP hadn't been around for over a month. So I think the problem exists whether there is a post limit or not.Quote:

I'm talking about really old threads being bumped, lots of them all together, by new members.

This is the kind of thing I'm referring to - and she isn't even one of the "bad" ones.
The newbies are doing to because they now HAVE to post. This rule actually creates more havoc then it stops. Forcing a newbie to make 5 or 15 posts for help means they'll go digging wherever they can.
I recommend ending the post requirement altogether, but it is up to LA to make those moves.
I agree, OtF, that's the point of this thread. He had actually removed the rule a while back, but it seems like he's now reintroduced it for some reason. It's so annoying.
Its to protect forum from spammers. You need certain count of posts before allowed to post a link.
The link thing is understandable, but here we're talking about having to post 15 times before being able to open a new thread. It's pointless and it leads to annoying useless posts... people that come here want to be able to ask their question right away.
Well as long as the report button is still functioning then we can get rid of them after one post.
Spammers, yes, but normal newbies who come here seeking advice and are forced to post 15 pointless replies in order to be able to start a new thread shouldn't have to be reported.
Oh well, I think 15 is excessive but I understand why the rule is in place. Anyway... I was only talking about the spammers. There would be no reason to report a perfectly good opening post.
Just having the view *I* have should get the rule removed. :D lmao.
