Or whatever that was called.

Seriously.

I think the recent bull shit have made it a pretty good point that this needs to be reinstated. Voted yes in other words.

Post by **LordMune** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 10:48 am

Voted Yes.
I say 20 or 30 posts. It is easily spammed up in the "newbie" threads during a couple of days, and by that time you should have learned what to do, and more specifically what not to do.

Post by **Femto** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 10:50 am

Exactly.

It was never about scaring n00bs, it was about giving them time to know how things work around here.

After seeing the attack of the newbies lately i cant vote other than yes.

Those thread annoy me so much.

Post by **psi29a** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 1:46 pm

well, how about 1 post limit?

that re-inforces necroing, and prevents the inevitable first bad-post.

Post by **Loeviz** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 4:57 pm

I vote yes here

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 5:18 pm

I miss the days where the regulars would flame the newbies that started threads with thier first post to death. We have become too nice.

Post by **Skullkracker** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 5:27 pm

too nice my ass...

you just didn't have the opportunity to use your potential

doesn't it feel good to flame again?

Post by **Eldo** » Tue Jan 03, 2006 8:49 pm

10 post limit is enough. I mean, we already have the necessary threads sticky for people to post in. Maybe they will at least look around before they start a thread.

Im must say im annoyed that doz locked my "There is hope yet for humanity"

There are threads that are much worthless in off the wall that let to be 4,5 pages. But mine you close you just cause Femto has a thing for Ashlee Simpons.......

hahahahahahaha

For the record, I neither locked it nor asked for it to be locked.

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 1:47 pm

Yeah but who said i would lock it if i could.

Im a little sad cause i made a thread we could have some fun but it got locked fast before we could have any fun.

Post by **Femto** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 2:03 pm

Are you blaming me for the thread getting locked?

And please, don't even try to imply that I'm doing this because of a "thing" for Ashley Simpson. The fact that you think that I'm going out of my way to defend someone I do not know and will probably never know is insulting to say the least.

If your thread getting locked bothers you so much, then PM psi about it.

I'm sure he'll be more than happy to open it up.

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 3:53 pm

Well i wasnt serious about you having a thing for Ashlee but doz closed it cause you and halfnhalf mentioned a lock.

I dont care about the thread anymore but that it got lock too fast.

Post by **Eldo** » Wed Jan 04, 2006 9:42 pm

It's all Femto's fault, obviously.

Quite obviously.

I'd like to add however that not everyone gets flamed on their first post. At least, I don't think I got flamed...
And really it's a select few that ruin it for everyone else. So although there should be a minimum number of posts before topics, I think 100 is a little much.

Post by **Eldo** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 2:36 am

That's why I say 10 post limit, quick to reach, and they usually get feedback from their posts quickly as well. This should allow them to post in the appropriate threads.

Post by **Femto** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 2:37 am

Eldo is obviously wrong.

Obviously.

Post by **Eldo** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 2:51 am

And who's fault is that? Obviously yours.

Post by **Femto** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 3:07 am

I may or may not be at fault, but your wrongness is obviously undeniable.

Post by **Laik** » Thu Jan 05, 2006 9:12 am

I mean I know we have all seen that thread already or have already answered that question but that's just another part of having a forum. Stuff like this only serves to futher intimidate potential friends from joining. How about we just drop stuff like this rule at least for now?

Post by **azncloud** » Fri Jan 06, 2006 12:12 am

I am just a lurker here, so I don't think my voice has that much influence in the forum

Yet in my opinion, a limit for starting a new thread on this particular forum should just limit at most 5 posts. We do not have that much of on-going topics to discuss to begin with.
In clubrsx forum, there is a 25 posts limit to start a new thread, and that forum consists of thousands of members, it has been going really well.

For the pool, I vote NO =)
If a new member starts a thread and it bothers you guys, just lock it (in case you are already too bored to flame). Otherwise, let it live, we will have more regulars and new friends that way.

Was it really necessary to bump this thread just to say that?

Of course not.

Evil Genius
