Re: time to implement a new guy probation period

I agree with a posting limit too. I browse mostly at work also.

Even being a newer guy, I completely agree. This is an extremely safe way for boards like this to weed out the scammers and protect its members.

Re: time to implement a new guy probation period

I know I'm not super popular here but I've been coming here for years at least 3 times a week at work alone, and for the first time recently I've had to worry about idiots pictures. Last thing I need is to loose my job so some looser can post a random picture he found online to look cool.

I did notice new guys coming in and selling stuff without any sort of post count. Yes, it used to be set to 5. I will take a look and see whats going on.

As far as the avatars, please send one of the mods or admin a PM with a user. Those we like to bust as fast as possible due to we know the at work issue with alot of users. When we see them, we take them down, but sometimes you guys find them first.

BTW, any avatar that seems questionable, its going to be yanked without notice. Keep it up and the avatar option can and will be locked out of that persons settings. So if your thinking of a new one and not sure if it would cause issue, again, get with mods or admins and ask us.

I agree. The bimmerforums have a 20 post minimum before you can PM or list stuff for sale. I agree with implementing a similar program.

Re: time to implement a new guy probation period

why not make a minimum post count before you can put a picture in as an aviator?

Yeah I agree

And I was shocked how the "pic of your fav chick" turned to porn but I guess the thread brought it on.

**BUT** it is clearly marked NWS. I don't mind a NWS picture thread at all. It's tagged, so I stay out if I need to stay out.


NWS avatars are another thing entirely.

And I hope if there is a min. post count, its in forums that contribute, not just off topic bs
