Should We Have a Minimum Post Count for the JV Section?

Ken Strong · 07-02-2009, 02:17 PM

I got a PM from a Warrior responding to an ad swap thread I started in the JV Forum. He joined two days ago, is basically anonymous, and 22 of his 23 posts so far are responses to ad swap threads.

While I don't think this breaks any rules, it's definitely against the spirit of the forum -- should we put a 30-post minimum for the JV section in addition to the other restrictions on newbies already in place?

I know in the old forum it used to say that if your first post was in the JV Forum it would be deleted -- but that's when every thread there had to be approved first. Don't know if we want to return to that.

Maybe there should be a 30-post minimum before anyone can post anywhere... no, wait that wouldn't work...

EDIT: Looks like all his posts have been deleted now...

Hey Ken,

Maybe a combo of post count and time spent here. I have seen people come in here in one day and rack up quite a few posts.

Of course, having folks pass a marketing test wouldn't hurt
