Was there a rule that was supposed to make rookies wait a month b4 they could post?

I remember talk about this, will it still happen? I'm tired of seeing noobs post silly comments like the one about MJ being Homosexual in the 2k thread. I'm all for expansion of the group but not at the expense of someone that lacks common sense. At least make it that they can only post 3 times a day or something..

I don't think it would help a lot. Immature posters are still gonna post. Leaving a month restriction or whatever will just chase away the good posters.


Do you really care where I sent this from?

I disagree. A waiting period would prevent banned users from making new accounts. That in itself would be worth a month waiting period.

Hopefully something will happened with this. Like the guys that are mad at the nba 2k updates.. "Lamar still on the Lakers" complainers..SMH..so sad

I'm going to put this on fast track. I am going to put a link on here for every silly comment by new rookies that I see, if you guys see something dumb please post here and maybe it will be addressed.

I don't think new guys should have a one month restriction to post but rather a 100 post count before they can create their own thread.

Keeping guys from posting defeats the purpose of a forum. But if you 'force' those individuals to post in correct places or just on other things in general you will more than likely weed out the bad apples. Most of 'em get banned within the first 100 posts anyway so this would eliminate a lot of the 'crazy' threads we see nowadays which clogs up the forums.

I agree with this, except maybe make it 50 posts. It would at least encourage them to discover and use the search feature. Actually preventing them from posting for a month or whatever after they register would probably be counterproductive.

I for one would gladly welcome an age limit on people joining the forum, if your under 18 then no entry. Reading some of the posts in the MLB 2K threads just makes me wish we had this right now...
