I don't get it. Why not just plaster the newbie board with spam like all the other lazy asses? With a tiny little bit of effort, it doesn't take very long at all to rack up 50 posts, anyways.

makes no sense to blow up newbie pages with senseless posts esp from ppl who dont know what they are talking about

They should allow us to somehow connect our buyers accounts with forums. I mean I've had over 50 deliveries, been a member for a year now. And now I'm posting shit just for the numbers

They do, contact a mod to ask how. Haven't you seen the SR vendor above the avatar?

The 50 posts is good it stops the repetative questions from going anywhere but the noob forum, every day there is the question: how long to get btc to my wallet
                      help with pgp
                      blah blah blah
  It also stops the spam cunt and there buy btc from bitwhatever

If you feel the need to spam there is a spam thread at the top, but think if you are so experienced maybe try answering other noobs questions to get your 50 up

Going to 50 sux, but I definitely understand why it's in place and support it.
If you really need the 50 that bad just hit the spam thread in the stickies section.
Guess I'm old fashioned or just not in a hurry, but earning the 50 with real meaningful posts shows people you actually have something to say and offer.

I think the post count should be lowered and spam on the newbie boards not allowed. Why even force people to post 50 times if you will also allow them to spam to 50?

Thats why they locked all but 1 spam thread

While 50 does seem a bit much, I imagine it keeps a lot of the true slackers out. If you aren't willing to spam to 50 or gain the 50 by actual posts, you probably also aren't willing to search the forums for your answers and instead post whatever stupid shit you feel like. It is a barrier to entry that really isn't even that hard to get over. I had my 50 in about 20 minutes. If you can't dedicate 20 minutes then I wouldn't want you in here.

My two satoshi.

50 Posts really isn't that much, even if you have to spam them over Tor. Just have a show on in the background or do something else while you wait for the pages to load.

There's something to be said for making the effort. And who knows, maybe something useful/interesting will be typed somewhere in those 50 posts

I would much rather they lowered it to 25 but didn't allow spam threads, than having it at 50 but letting people just spam to get their post count up

Keep it the way it is in my opinion. Their are so many impatient people that don't bother trying to learn about PGP, Tails, or their online security looking for the quick fix(literally) that I believe SR is doing them a service they cant see yet. Take the time to learn new knowledge that will protect your own ass or just spam in the appropriate thread and see how ya go. It's very simple really. I don't understand why so many people complain about it.

I second, third, fourth and fifth this! The cats voted lol

But playing devils advocate here, If more people had to use the forums like they do now to get to the 50 posts, MAYBE just MAYBE the people of SR would be more educated and informed on everything it takes to run a vendor account, use pgp, know whos good for what drug of choice, etc...

Now Ive changed my mind, Keep it at 50! lol

I totally wanna get over my 50 posts, but it does probably do a good job keeping spammers or complete morons out of the rest of the forums.

I just regret not using the forums when I just joined SR

I've never signed a petition that got anything done, and I don't think 25 is a high enough post count, but I'm finding it hard to spam my way to 50.
