An opinion on the post restriction.

With the current situation,a lot of leechers enter here,make 15 posts and then go on their merry way.While a great deal of them are stopped prematurely,a lot of them sadly make it through.However,what we are left with eventually are some awfully bad posts and comments that make everyones experience a little bit worse.

So,what I suggest:
-Up the posts restriction.Make it 30 or something.The effect I hope it will bring is to discourage bad-intented people from even registering and even if they do start their marathon to 30 posts,to give more breathing room for staff members(and Cuddles) to snatch them before they manage to do anything.A possible side effect is that the forum will be gathering more LQ posts and that eventually not as many people as expected willbe prevented.

OR

-Lower the post restriction,to like 5.This way we are basically sacrificing some resources,in favour of making the image of the site more presentable and pleasant.

Of course,there is always the need for more active members,something that if we had more would conceal this problem altogether,but we shall work with what we have.

If they can do 15 trash posts why can't they do another 15?
That'll end up with more trash posts

we have a few surprises that'll hopefully mitigate this leeching problem coming with v4

I think the same that Zvyrus. If people wanna trashpost or annoy, they'll do it anyway. It doesn't care if you up the post restriction or not

I thought as much,hence the counter-plan.
But let's and wait what's in store.

Yes, Ill have to agree with this to be honest, they trash post to 15 to leech, if they needed 30 they will just trash post further, with the amount of leeches that come on the forums daily, this will cause a huge spike in spam, e.g.

I like the idea though, but I really dont think itd work.
Hopefully with V4 whatever they add to help with this issue will work.

+1 imho no sense in having 15 trash posts really

Agree with this. Hopefully changes in V4 will cut down on the spam made by leechers.
