Forum Restrictions

[wiz126]

VB Forums is for programming, so I thought, why there are no restriction for the chit chat and the World Events Forum.
I think there should be a 15 posts requirement to post in the World Events and 25 posts to make a new thread there.
Same goes for the chit chat 20 posts required to post and 30 to make a new thread.
Viewing the thread is possible with no requirements.


This idea came to me after seeing countless number of posts from people that haven’t posted a single post in the main forums. I think a member of VBforums first have to help some people or contribute something before he/she can earn the right to have fun (lol)(Not that they don’t helping people)

And thus the spamming of main forums would begin.

Well if they are spamming then shouldn't be welcome here NE Way

True, but you have to consider these things

Only the other day i saw a member advertising some products for sale in the Classic VB forum, soon got banned and thread deleted. Think, with more of these the response time would be way slower

We want the place to be both helpful, and fun. We don't want to put restrictions on either, any more than is absolutely necessitated.
