Title: please stop the spam to 50 threads
Post by: Alutnarat on August 04, 2013, 06:14 am
please stop the "spam to 50 threads". there is a very good reason the forum has this rule, noobs like us should spend our first 50 post leaning all the non-obvious ways to use sr safely. the newbie forum is where are old and wiser brethen come and bless us with their experience and wisdom. so we should stay here and learn, not spam to 50 then go annoy the real member forums with dumb ass questions. so flame me if you will, i've said my piece.

The problem is that I spent enough time lurking to figure out how not to be a dumbass. Then when it was time to start posting, I was still 50 short. Very frustrating.

No you need to make 50 mistakes before you get it right instead of just learning how to do it right the first time.  ???

 dude i understand, its just every time i turn around there is something new for me to learn. also i have seen way to many dumb ass questions being ask in the reg forums by idiots with 51 post to their name. " how do i pgp?" what does FE mean" etc ect...

Nah, the 50 post rule is to stop people spamming the forum with bullshit, adverts, phishing scams etc.

It's to stop actual spam, not just newbie questions which are a bit annoying but not actually genuinely disruptive or dangerous. It works pretty well.

So keep spamming to 50, and whilst you're doing it, also take the time to learn the basics of using SR. Then, once you've got 50, come and join the rest of us!

EDIT - check out the 'Biggest competitor to Silk Road' thread that just appeared a few seconds ago in the newbie forum. The 50 post rule is to stop that sort of  bullshit appearing on the main boards.

I personally find the spam to 50 irritating

When I first started on SR I wanted to learn useful information from the forums...the spam threads do nothing for you except waste time.
