lol, well ive got a nhew product and i want to advertise it here, but youve got it blocked until i post at least 25 times... Ive got no problem with having blocks BUT i do think that you should really lower that down to about 5 or so... It would still keep the spammers away, just an idea. Great site though, very nic design also. Cya
No it won't work, we already have spammers doing 25 posts to get the link, but then they are obvious so they lose the ability right away.
And make sure you are better at spelling, caps, and so on, once you hit 25 posts!!! Spend a day in the General Chat area and you'll quickly hit 25 posts!
Funny.. on my car related forum my members nominated to have a 50 post and minimum 2 week membership before listing any item over $50 for sale. Now they want to raise the limit to 100 posts and 1 month... nobody likes to get ripped off on the internet, it's sort of a way to help protect your users from being scammed (deff. not full proof tho)
It's hard to say who is going to have something valuable to offer and not just spam. The 25 rule IMO is good. If you are serious about your product, then why can it not wait for you to make 25 posts? 50+ is too much IMO. At least members will get to know you a little bit thru 25 posts and can then decide if they are interested in your services or not
