I think, on the heels of what has gone on today, that this rule needs to be strictly reiterated and enforced with threads and posts deleted that violate this rule. It already seems like we've got some people jumping in just because they couldn't find Wall-E in the parks. Sad, I know.

I'm rooting for you guys!yes three people for the Px3!!!
lol, yeah most people are good at obeying the rules here but there are some that dont read.I'm rooting for you guys!

Yeah, you kinda just figure that would be a basic requirement here- where half the time you write and half the time you read!
Anyway, I think I'm understanding the reason for this rule today more than I did before, because it's ridiculous how many people find this site and figure "here's a bunch of people who will probably sell me the LE vinyls I couldn't get today" and join for solely that purpose. I mean, come on peoples, I understand your frustration completely but this isn't ebay!
yeah exactly that, and the rule is in place to get people talking and engaged in conversation on this Fantastic Website, i cant see why anyone wouldn't want to make friends on here and join in on all this funYeah, you kinda just figure that would be a basic requirement here- where half the time you write and half the time you read!

Not only that, but the people that trade/sell might find people with over 15 posts with actual thought put into them my find them more trustworthy. Even 'trustworthy' might be too strong of a word but I think they'd be more hesitant to trade with someone who had 3 one-word posts. Personally I think the post count to trade/sell should be higher.Yeah, you kinda just figure that would be a basic requirement here- where half the time you write and half the time you read!

I think people think they can meet their post count by just saying "welcome" to all the new members but I can assure you that won't fly because I will delete every single post like that if it looks like that's what they're trying to do. The rule says your posts must be meaningful... as in they must contribute to the conversation at hand.

I am sorry I actually was completely confused earlier in the day when I post a new thread. So oops! though now I am addicted to the forum so already over my 15 but not gonna stop now. I Love this!!!!
welcome to the forum and happy that you love it here
FYI, you can't go into every single new member's thread to say "welcome" just to meet your 15 post minimum so you can post in the Trading/Selling forum.
I've noticed some new members trying to be slick.

I've noticed that too. Would it be possible to close/lock "Welcome" threads after a week or two? Just thought that might help cut back on this problem. I know in the past I've seen people welcome somebody who's been a member for a couple of months. I know I find it slightly annoying when I click on "New Posts" and get like four pages of welcome threads, most of which are old.FYI, you can't go into every single new member's thread to say "welcome" just to meet your 15 post minimum so you can post in the Trading/Selling forum.

I wonder if it possible to put a time restriction on new members so that they have to wait a certain number of days to start a trading thread! I have noticed a few members who joined and wrote in about 3 or 4 different threads to meet the 15 minimum post rule then the same day or most likely the next day started a trading thread! Just seems a little weird to me!
wow......looks like we're spamming the welcome thread again.
Maybe its time to put a time restriction on when people can start trading!

I was wondering why so many of them were coming on my subscribed page.
maybe a time restriction would be the best...is that even possible?
On Sideshow Freaks board you have to have 50 post AND be an active member for 6 months before you can get into the selling forum, but you can access the want to buy forum.
