Hi

sorry, but exactly what is the point of 50 post rule when you can just get to 50 posts by posting spam/crap/pretty much anything?

why make us waste time clogging up the board?

To stop bots and people just spamming the forum. Takes effort to become part of the community. I only just reached the 50+ mark but so glad I did its a great place and most people are really nice.

Proof-of-work to slow down the overly eager and LE, perhaps?

Any one of us could be coming in here with all sorts of nefarious intents, from misinformation to scamming to spamming to simply being assholes.

A 50 post rule at least filters out the people who aren't willing to go to some effort before they go roaming out to blab among the general population.
