New Member Suggestion

[1977_Corvette]

Maybe have a 50 post minimum for new members before they are able to post in sponsor threads? Might help avoid some of these new guys getting banned 2 days after signing up. Just a suggestion.

That would at least be a good start. Only thing is I've seen newbs at certain forums that knew about the minimum post requirement post a ton of single letter or nonsense posts just to get past it.

I agree with Kins....although it could be an option but remember you can't fix stupid. If their stupid from post 1 there is a good chance they'll be stupid at 50.

Easy fix there is mods and admin * remove the one word or single letter posts and make them start back from zero

If they're posting one letter posts then that just makes them seem sketchy..
That red flags already.

Staff usually deletes such posts if they are aware of the post whoring attempt. That should happen here more to keep these newbs who could well be possible trolls or apammers.

Well, maybe 10 threads started then? Sure, alot of guys will have elementary questions but thats good, shows they want to learn and do it right and im sure will be knowledable vets with some great insight. Some of these new members are just ridiculous, going onto a sponsor thread and just spazin out and asking questions that get sponsors busted and boards compromised. Has to stop.

I agree. It's nuts. Wish there was something we could do to keep the idiots out. The more popular this board gets the more idiots will come...More idiots=more chances of sponsors getting busted. These dumb-asses come in and probably order gear on McDonald's public wi-fi using their moms laptop and yahoo mail.

AS they say loose lips sink ships and new people need to understand security and discretion is the name of the game, and sponsors themselves need to take steps to protect themselves as well. We should just call out those spazzes and let the staff take out the trash. We have lost many sponsors due to shit like this as many either go private or simply drop off the radar.

Here we take pride in our community and we will keep it safe

I'm still somewhat new here. I read a lot, but I rarely post because the search function helps me find most of the info to my questions. I'm just as concerned about security as everyone else here, and think that new members should not have access to the sponsors right away. I would happily pay a small yearly fee to gain access to these areas. I think the money would help support the site and keep new people from signing up just to spam/infiltrate the forum.

Nice to have you Viper. Just b/c your new, dosent mean you dont know anything, but ask away. There are tons of knowledable vets around here that can probably answer any questions you might have regarding AAS, diet, training, etc...... Discussions is good, debates and new threaads are what keep these boards alive, so ask away!

Two years now so I guess I would step up the demand to ice cream.

Some very good perspectives here. In the past it was policed by the admin and staff. Just post up and share your experience.

There deff needs to be a tighter rule. If you haven’t been active for two months then you should be banned!! Tired of fishing idiots
