1/5
Communications: There was no alert to let me know why I could suddenly no longer post in the forums, no private message or anything.
Stealth: Overly stealthy, given above.
Quality: While this rule may temporarily increase the signal to noise ratio in the forums, in the long run I doubt if it will matter. Spammers gonna spam. Trollers gonna troll. Rockers gonna roll.
Remember, never finalize early! Girls hate that.

Spammers, by their very definition, are more than willing to do a lot of work for a rare reward.
Ordinary people are the only casualties.

ya lick my ass, now all us regular folk HAVE TO FUCKING SPAM so we can post reviews on products..
THSI MAKES SENSE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Kind of annoying. I have 36 posts and +8/-0 karma and now I need 14 in the newbie forum? That makes me want to just post random crap 14 times to be able to post/create threads again...ughhhh

It seems like the new rule would just give long time members the chance to circlejerk over their favorite vendors while new buyers have no way of reviewing the daring, new buys they've made. Seems to make it harder for other buyers to find helpful reviews. But hey what do I know I'm just a stupid guy that does things.

I pay hundreds of dollar's to sell here, and here I am in the newbie section posting messages everywhere so I can get 50 posts lol. I'm not complaining tho, it's good advertising for me.
I agree though, that in the long run this "solution" will not solve anything. But while it's here, why not chill with some of the newer people on SR and answer any questions they might have, and make them feel welcome. I'm a new vendor but I've been a buyer for 6 months and I know my way around.

Oh is this new..Well now i will be forced to post more often.
On the other hand,it is probably the only way to make that bitcoin spam stop..this was almost as annoying as this new rule:).
-
Yea it did get carried away.
-
I agree
-
the whole "50 posts" thing seems like a waste of bandwidth.. I'm trying to post constructive posts at least.
-
It's just not that big of a deal. Take a deep breath, keep a browser window open for a bit and keep coming back to it while you do other things.
People need to chill the fuck out.
Keep calm and carry on, and all that jazz.

Yea a load of bullshit. Ive been a forum member longer than 90% of everyone that posts on the board, I just dont post much.
-
It's really shitty and I don't really see how it's gonna keep spammers away. Spammers spam and by this new rule we have to spam to 50 posts which makes us spammers. If anything, it just generated a whole lot of new spammers

:(

Yeah it is pretty awesome that I turned my fucking computer inside out trying to figure out why the post/reply button had vanished. FUCKING USELESS BULLSHIT.
