Yeah good idea dork...then you would only have the same $hitheads starting posts FOREVER. You should be suspended for suggesting that.

What those would be - I don't know. How about the ability to ban other posters when you get above...say...nineteen thousand posts? Quote I'm leaning towards: 0 On Probation 50 UDFA 100 Practice Squad 250 Rookie 500 RFA 1500 Veteran 7500 All Pro 15000 Hall of Famer Or... 7500 "All Pro" 12500 "Hall of Famer" 17500 either "Needs a Life" or "Seriously, WTF is wrong with you?"

But keeping new posters from starting threads for the first 25 or 50 -- or perhaps restricting that privilege to the new-poster forum -- may well be something to consider...

Hell, even the first five. Eliminate the "one hit wonders", who register just to post "TeRrElL OwInS iS kEwL!!!!11!1!1" and are never seen again.

If we do anything it would be it would more likely be a moderator approval thing then an out-right ban.

I like the idea, but I'm assuming some posters decide to join because they feel like they have something new to say. Besides, having the Mods save us from the nasty trolls is nice every once and awhile. We should also have a label for folks who lost half of their memories (posts and threads) like myself. How about Pot Head Bills fans.

Sometimes that is an hour, sometimes it is a couple days. I have to check for spammer regs...

I think 50 is a fine number for allowing new threads. What I think you might consider is instituting a warning system to posters who go too far, or flagrantly break the TOS. I have seen forums where the admin lets you know if you have a warning, on your profile. Just something to consider.

I'm sure yours just rerolled back to the start.

I think by the time someone racks up 20 or 25 posts, the moderating staff has a pretty good idea of whether or not they're going to make the cut. john wawrow said: note: i don't count myself as a Bills fan, but i'll start using caps if there's payment due! jw
