I think the whole idea of getting to 50 posts so you can post on the main boards is about your contribution to this community. It's easy to spam 50 posts and go to the board a few hours later, but why not take a few minutes out of your life and help some others that have questions and earn your 50 posts.

:o hmmm....yeeees ! ;D

Definitely the answer. If it were a reasonably low count, that'd be one thing. But 50 is a bit overkill IMO.
-
Apparently so. Most of the topics here are spam. There's not much helping to do. The vast majority of questions can be answered by looking in other sections or reading the wiki.
-
I would say yes

Well, spam currently is "the answer" if you want to participate in the other forum sections - fifty posts is a lot.
There should at least be a noobie review thread - i'm betting noobs would be more willing to take risks on vendors (looking for a cheap onramp to the road) and it'd be good to give any of those people a place to review vendors no matter what their post count.
-
it should be like 10-15 IMO
-
It sucks, but I think it works out pretty well.

I don't think I would have made an account here unless it was urgent. I need to contact a vendor that I ordered from, so I made an account on the forums, then I found out that I needed 50 posts to make a topic in the right forum. That took me about 12 hours of spamming, including sleep, where I just needed to make one post in the correct forum. I tried asking here in the newbie forum, mind you, and I didn't get a reply. 50 posts is just far too much, and this forum doesn't seem to have any worthwhile discussions, as everyone moves right along to the other forums as soon as they spam their way to 50 posts.
TL;DR: 50 posts is too much, and there isn't any worthwhile topics in the newbie forum to legitimately contribute to. Spamming is the best way.

I don't believe spam will help. Most people don't like spam. I say contribute to earn your 50 post. I've almost spammed to get to 50. But i could never do it. If someone see's my name on there I feel it would decrease the respect they have for me. Also... If there was a review thread that newbies could reply on. Don't you think it would be easier for scammers to make multiple accounts and post on there themselves to make them look good?

Been on SR for 3 months and didn't create a forum account until today. I wanted to contribute with reviews, but I didn't want to go to the trouble of getting to 50. Finally decided that it wouldn't be too bad to get to 50 without spamming.

Spam is best fried with spicy mayo on a sweet hawaiian bun. add coleslaw to really make it pop.
and good luck contributing positively in this forum for 50 posts. at some point, you'll want one of my spam sliders.

spam for fiddy

yes

spamming my tits off right now

I just want to discuss Shipping questions and stuff! But anytime I create a topic talking about that it gets modded for being off topic or overlooked. So spamming seems to be the answer. They should make a few boards open to newbies, that way there wont be much spamming.
