10 post minimum requirement

PM's to Staff Only
Read Only: Community Cooperative

These are the 3 I've bounced off of that I hope to get around in a few posts time, but like I said I can see the purpose and I accept it

Don't worry, your 2 posts away

I guess that when I saw this ^^, I mistakingly thought that meant those sections (and one other, near the top of the page) were also restricted. Plus it seemed that I ran into the problem before I went and tried to post in the Community Cooperative.... maybe I was wrong about that.

Oh, and thanks for the welcomes!

And your 1 post away!

Ok, I've said my piece and I've reached the required number of posts so no more whining from me. LOL!

FYI, though - there is apparently more than just one place where posting doesn't increase your post count. This post should be #14 for me but is only showing up as 11. Someone stated that they thought that was just for the 'fun & games' section but I only have 2 posts there... not sure why I have a third one that didn't count. I think if all of my posts got me closer to the 10 required, this wouldn't have been nearly as frustrating, js

I'm pretty sure it's for ALL the off-topic sections....I think it's intros and chitchat....

To be honest, as a new member, I don't care if I need ten posts, because I know that I will get there soon enough.

I agree.

Ah ...so there is a ten post limitation for some forums here ... never realized.

Its not much IMHO .. I have a 50 posts + 1 month requirement on my forum.

I don't think there should be a 10 post limit to PM. I just want to contact some users about their advertisements for needing mods e.t.c

Drop 10 posts to PM and spammers can lurk in the PM system without revealing themselfs to Staff until someone bothers to report them

Other bigger forums don't have this rule. People will report spam PM's.

yes, OTHER forums don't have this rule, doesn't change the fact that TAZ does...

We get hardly any PM spam here and some other large forums on similar topics get a ton of it.

Reporting it isn't going to solve the problem, it makes it so PM spammers will be caught but they'll only be caught after they've managed to send a bunch of spam PMs. The 10 posts rule however prevents most PM spam from ever being sent.

The poutine ? Im not offended by your cooking necessarily ... what's in it ? What the hell is that ?!?!?! Hmmm I might possibly be offended by it ... jury's still out.

Guy who started this ... take a deep breath and welcome to the forum. U are well on your way past the 10 post mark now. Are U offended by my dancing banana ? It doesnt care .... it just likes to shake its groove thang.

Just out of curiosity, when was the 10 post rule implemented? I mostly lurk and I haven't visited here in a number of months.

Thanks!

Also, having had to deal with PM spammers, this isn't a bad idea. I think I'll suggest it on our board (well, maybe not 10 posts, perhaps 3-5)

Poutine is a Canadian dish- french fries and cheese curds smothered in gravy. My dad, who's Canadian, loves it, and got my husband hooked on it too! I prefer it without the curds.

Yet have over 10 posts. Still cannot edit my signature. My guess it's the cron job about usergroup promotions.

 

[Joshuad]

I don't think there was such a limitation when I registered...which is good considering I typically only post in the resourcesforums

 

[Needles]

Of course you registered 6 years ago!

Are you still unable to edit your signature?

I think that posting in community co-operative should be 10 posts. But basic things like PMing a member, makes it hard to communicate. I just want to contact members if they need staff. I don't want to be forced to post.

As has been said. Its to prevent spam. TAZ has a lot of spam the staff has to deal with. Its also a good forum practice in general.
