Default 10+ posts expected issues and posting generally

hi all

yep the possible issues with existing members just making another 5+ bad posts is unfortunately always a possibility - which was why I'd resisted BUT

having thought about it all some more and realising that having a laid back "people will post if they want to" view might not be very proactive

yes I will be editing posts that fall a long way short of the mark - but I'm also hoping that existing members will now appreciate and respect the other forum members enough to make the effort to make additional posts that are useful rather than just for the sake of the passwords

I had been worried about changing the rules for this reason - but I think / hope that the exisiting members needing more posts are no longer in the same position as new members just desperate to post 5 to get that days freeroll password - so dont let me down guys & girls

we have around 1500+ members with 5+ posts and I think they all know they forum well enough to easily add 5 more posts that are credible and helpful to get the passwords if nothing else

Why Post in Forums

I think pothole has made one of the most useful posts in the forums - that unless your a winning player you shoud be actively posting in the forum to gain help / suggestions / inspiration and others ideas to help improve

and if you are a winning player then posting here to help other members is great too

I've learnt alot from posts here - and its always a help to your game posting replies to peoples problems because it helps you think your strategy through more too

cheers scrawnybob
