    Changing minimum post count for manuals

    Hey guys,

    I reckon the minimum post count should be changed to at least 100, sick of seeing these noobs shamelessly posting shite just to get them, if its increased then they'll be caught and banned before they get them, it's really a win/win situation: they get banned and they don't get the manuals!


    Just my 2c,
    Cheers,
    Eric.

    I was going to put the gif image up of beating a dead horse but the limit has been change to 19.5kb so thats out. Anyway. This has been discussed on numerous occasions. While I totally agree, I doubt it would change. Same rule should apply for the For Sale section too I think.

    Good luck.

    It's also been said before, and I agree, that instead of raising the post count how about leaving it at 25 but making a minimum period of 3 months before they are accessible?
    Some people just don't chat much and 100 posts is quite big.
    If it's a time thing it might encourage people to be more active in the threads and read up more.

    Doesn't bother me though. I like watching the mods play cat and mouse haha

    The time period is a good idea mate and yes, I too enjoy the sport of watching a spammer get banned......just before he gets to 25!

    X on time Limit but I am also a fan of becoming a Forum Sponsor before being able to download as it also helps offset the costs of running the Forum

    Something should be changed, as the current system does not seem to work very well for new or old members ?

    I do completely agree on something has to change but I also believe that 100 posts or a 3 month time limit might discourage ppl even more as that was the initial reason I joined but quickly learnt the info on here is way better than the manuals and the community on here is priceless.
    I think that if you really want the manuals straight away and can't be bothered waiting a small fee should apply until a set post count or time frame, with that in mind maybe extend the post count slightly to around 40 or 50.
    Just my 2c worth.

    guys at the end of the day this topic has been done and done and done. when it all boils down to it, it's up to AB if it should change or stay the same. i too like reporting an individual when the are spamming just to get to 25 posts but i dont think anyone should take it personally.

    cheers
