what if maybe there was a time limit, you have to be an active member for a certain amount of time before you can get into the restricted boards. Then people aren't posting like crazy to get into them.

i actually prefer that idea to post count since anyone can post a bunch of stuff about nothing to get there if they really wanted to. any suggestions on a minimum amount of time?

I say keep it at 500 posts and a minimum of 3 months membership. That would make me feel more secure about making a post in there.

I think a time requirement is better too. 3 months sounds good. I know I'm at like less than 400 posts... I've been here for a while now, probably a month or better, and I'm not in the habit of replying to every post on here with a small remark... hence my post count is kinda low and 1,000 posts seems like an eternity away! Of course I didn't even know such a forum existed on here in the first place tongue.gif but maybe a time requirement would be more effective for those of us who take time to share ourselves and don't just reply every 5 seconds... it just may add to the quality of the posts on here! wink.gif there's my 2cents.gif biggrin.gif

I think both time and post count are important. Someone could sign on and not be active for 6 months and then all of a sudden they have access to the P&I forum and they are not known. I believe that I joined in January and posted a little during Jan & beginning of February then went away for a time, may have been a few months I do not remember then I came back and posted again. You all really would not have known me if I had popped into P&I so early in our relationship. And as we see above post counts can be manipulated. I think post count of 500 and 6 months on the boards would be a good solid relationship established. JMO.

I just sure hope you can also see humor! biggrin.gif

No offense but I really doubt that once I reach any time and posting allotments and would be allowed access, that I would post in that forum.

I was a moderator at another website and one of the hardest forums to keep the spammers and trolls out of was 'Sexually Speaking' I imagine it was quite close to your 'P & I' Kudos to the 1000 post limits.

And geesh.........lighten up on the newbie k?

My worries exactly, I was just going to say the same thing! Having both a minimum post count and a time requirement is a good idea. thumb.gif

Our P&I forum is password protected, so it's the only one we don't get spam in. wink.gif

I am sorry you took offense to me pointing out your posts. I used your posts to show an example of how post counts could go high, just as I used my joining 18 months ago and not posting for awhile then posting later as an example. Both are examples of how someone could get around whatever requirement we put on this particular forum. I was not pointing a finger at you or me.

I imagine that your other forum was different, here at PC great care is taken to not have that. This is something I greatly appreciate about this forum. And this protection is why this old suggestion post was resurrected, I presume.

No offense was meant.

Nope:

No offense was taken here happy.gif

I just wanted to be sure you all understood I'm REALLY not just some passing troll or perv. Just a newbie with a lame sense of humor.

Being a newbie I CAN get away with saying the truth about that type of forum without offending because I don't know anybody by their personality.

The truth is even WITH all the safety settings and time limits. A site this size will STILL have select members that pass all those gain access, yet members that have gotten to know them wish that ******** wasn't allowed in there because well.....I dunno they just kinda creep me out.

I can say that from being a Mod and knowing theres those select few at every website. Yet I'm not aware of who that type would be here cause I don't know nobody yet. laugh.gif

And if you don't have a few of those here, Man is this site blessed!

Let me just say that we all have kind of funny senses of humor...if that's the right way to put it, and some people just take it the wrong way, it happens at every site, but we're a great and diverse group and all of seem to get along just fine...unless I'm blind...I'm happy to be a member here.
wink.gif

And oh yeah-I think that the post count and maybe time restriction is a good idea too, I've posted quite a bit, just because I'm such a postaholic, and I can honestly say that I NEVER make it to P & I forum...

I like the time as a member idea. I too would like access to the forum but I try to never do that "I agree" or "me too"stuff cause ...well I just don't rolling_smile.gif But I've been a member for over 6 months and think that most folks know I'm a little quite but pretty trustworthy.

JMO!!! hug.gif

Just wanted to let everyone know, that I can take way post counts when needed. I will do this when I see someone just posting nothing to get their count up high. A mod will let me know if someone is just posting one word sentences or nothing useful just to get in that forum. I will simply reverse their post count.

The time limit was a good idea, but as someone has pointed out; someone could sign up and go away for a few months, then all of a sudden they have access to the password. I think a post count is the best way.

That is interesting Rod. I never would have even thought that that would be possible.

I never think to go into P&I even though I do have the password to get in there. I just click View new posts or todays topics and read whats there, if P&I doesnt pop up for whatever reason I forget to check in in there.

I think a couple of people are right here. Judging from the ways you could "get around" both a count and a time limit, I think the safest way is having both in place as the gauge.

I'm quite confident that the best measures are in place. Knowing that some blowjoe can't just intrude by racking up the posts without having them taken away is good enough for me.
